2016 Thor Motor Coach Vegas recalls

Recall 17V-758: Equipment

Reported Nov 22, 2017 · 110,400 vehicles affected · Thor Motor Coach

Problem: 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.

Structure · at 62,000 miles · reported Jul 22, 2020

We were trapped in our rv at the gas station. We were parked and attempting to exit to get gas. We pulled the door latch (Manufactured by trimark corp) to exit but the door would not open. The plunger would not retract from the lock position. Eventually we were able to use a kitchen knife as a screwdriver (Since our tools are kept outside of the motor coach) to remove the inside door handle assembly. We then had to pry the plunger to the inside to disengage it. We were then able to push the door open in order to exit. From that point we had to use the dead bolt to secure it closed.

Visibility/Wiper · at 1,500 miles · reported Jul 12, 2017

Wipers aren't aligned properly. During use they bump into each other causing them to lock up. Multiple trips to dealer to fix hasn't improved problem. Dealer says it is a known issue with thor affecting multiple models but nothing has been done to correct the problem, which seems to be in the design of the wiper arm angle. Had to use shorter wiper blades than recommended to try and ease the problem but that reduces visibility which is also a safety hazard.
