A:Answer As you know, Samsung recalled around 3 millions washer which were made and sold between 2011 until October 2016. This particular model is one of them and according to samsung and later on by bestbuy team, not only this one but any of the Samsung washers available to purchase now are not recalled even though it is the same model. they have corrected the problem and so they all are free from recall. this models have same functions as their recalled counter part except these units will not EXPLODE like others did.
samsung is offering mail in rebate for customers who chose to exchange washer instead of getting it repaired and this unit will complete your laundry pair if you chose to get it exchanged instead of getting repaired, because more than likely you and most of us would have purchased matching dryer with it too.
hope this helps
