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.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 4,000 miles · reported Jan 3, 2018

In same states it is impossible to put gas into the tank without using a funnel. This causes the gas to splash back soaking the 2 people it takes to put fuel in. The reason this happens is that there is not room for the gas nozzle to fit down into the line to the gas tank. In other states it is very difficult to get the nozzle in, but possible. When we approached thor about it they told us it was out of warranty and they would do nothing about it. We live in colorado (A difficult but not impossible state) and traveled to california (An impossible state) before we discovered this impossibility.…
