Safety Issue:

See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V758-5764.pdf.

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.

I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN USING THE INTERMITTENT WIPER FUNCTION. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BUNK WINDOW REPLACE 2X. IN BOTH CASES THEY FELL OUT WHILE IN ROUTE. I HAVE REQUESTED AND NOT RECEIVED ANY REPAIR ORDERS FOR THE WORK DONE BY GENERAL RV, OR THOR
