2005 Thor California Jazz recalls
Recall 07V-281: Structure
Problem: On certain travel trailers, under certain load and speed conditions, excessive vehicle sway could develop leading to a loss of vehicle control.
Risk: This loss of control could lead to a vehicle crash resulting in personal injury or death.
Fix: Dealers will install weight compensating steel to the trailer a-frame and reinforce the axle hangers if necessary. The trailer weight certification labels will be replaced with new weight certification labels. Owners will also receive a guide to trailer loading and weighing to help them properly load and weighh the trailer. The recall began on july 17, 2007. Owners may contact thor california at 1-888-697-8467.
Recall 06V-468: Structure
Problem: On certain cargo/travel trailers, overloading and incorrectly positioning cargo in the rear cargo area can result in alight hitch weight and affect stability.
Risk: Depending on the specific tow vehicle and its hitch equipment, a sufficiently light hitch weight can result in sway at highway speeds. Too much weight incorrectly positioned can also result in severe bending of the a-frame assembly, failure of the coupler assembly, and/or failure of the safety chains. This can cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the trailer, tow vehicle and hitch equipment; install new cargo load limit labels and placards in the cargo area; furnish loading limit information; replace the coupler and safety chains; and reinforce the a-frame. The recall began on november 15, 2006. Owners should contact thor at 1-888-697-8467. Note: this campaign supersedes a previous recall (Please see 04v243).
Recall 06V-208: Equipment
Problem: On certain travel and fifth wheel trailers equipped with suburban and atwood furnaces, the furnace exhaust vent was improperly installed. The furnace exhaust vent will allow leakage of fumes which contain combustion products, including a high concentration of potentially lethal carbon monoxide gas.
Risk: Fumes could enter into the trailer and could result in serious injury or death.
Fix: Owners will receive instructions on inspecting the furnace vent. If an owner believes the vent is installed incorrectly, is not sure how to inspect the furnace exhaust vent, or needs assistance in getting the furnace exhaust vent installation inspected and corrected, owners should contact thor immediately at 1-877-870-2638 or via the internet at http://www.thorca.com. The recall began on june 15, 2006.
