The affected vehicles are equipped with certain Lippert-brand Coachstep Double and Triple Electric Steps. These steps use a bolt to attach the fan gear assembly to the steps. This bolt may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps. As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may be unstable.

Risk: Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Thor will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer bracket to reinforce the operating mechanism and replace all of the affected bolts, free of charge. The recall began on January 6, 2016. Owners may contact Thor customer service at 1-877-855-2867. Thor's number for this recall is RC000111.

Electrical System · at 46,000 miles · reported Jan 18, 2016

Alternater became red hot and stopped working . Now there is no replacement for this alternater which is an international part that should cost about $300 but no. International wants me to pay , with parts and labor just under $2500 for this fix . This needs to be a warrenty or recall . My coach was on the verge of catching fire. Lucky for my family and I , I smelled something was wrong ! We were in motion !

Visibility/Wiper · reported Jul 13, 2014

My wipers haven't been working right from the day I bought it new. The wiper arms when you turn them on go all the way around until they stop because of the washer hose that's the only thing that saves them. Ihave had them fixed about 6 times so far, can't drive in the rain, can't trust them,some times the blades fly off the unit. When it rains I have to find a place to park till it stops.
