Recall Date: Nov 22, 2017
Safety Issue:

Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling various 2003-2018 recreational vehicles, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V758-5764.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

The windshield wipers get out of sync and collide, usually it ends up with the passenger wiper stuck down behind the driver's wiper and they both stop with no way to clear the rain from the windshield. There have been recalls issued for my model & year of RV but THOR says they don't apply to my RV. This has happened several times. My "solution" is to remove the passenger wiper.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

While driving during a rain storm both wipers stopped working. Drivers wiper fell to drivers side resting on side rear view mirror and passengers fell down front of the RV. Pulled over and stopped until rain stopped. After looking in engine compartment the hardware that connects both wiper arms to the motor broke off from where the wipers arms connect. No indication of failure until both arms just broke off. Looks like they broke because of stress moving the wipers across windshield. Not sure if poor design of poor metal used.

Defect Description:

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SLAMS DOWN UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER CAUSING ALL WIPER ACTION TO CEASE DURING RAINSTORMS. CREATES A DEADLY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AN 11 TON UNIT DOWN THE ROAD.. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE SYSTEM - TOO THIN OF A MOUNTING PLATE FOR THE WIPER MOTOR ALLOWING TOO MUCH FLEX WHICH ALLOWS WIPER LINKAGE FROM MOTOR TO ARMS HANG UP ON MOTOR MOUNTING BOLTS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHICH SAY THEY FIXED IT. THEY DIDN'T.
