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.

Problem: Thor motor coach (tmc) is recalling certain recreational vehicles manufactured from march 9, 2010, through march 9, 2011. The wiring for the oxygen (o2) sensor that connects to the catalytic converter may not be properly secured. When not secured, wiring can fall onto the exhaust, melt, and short out causing a check engine light (cel) and, in some cases, the engine to shut down while driving.

Risk: An engine shut down while driving increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor by installing a clamp and by adding an additional fastener free of charge. The safety recall began on march 31, 2011. Owners may contact tmc warranty service department at 1-877-500-1020.
