The recalls cover various systems including exterior lighting, steering components, electrical systems, equipment labels, and fire extinguishers. Remedies often involve part replacement or rerouting hoses to prevent hazards.
- Exterior lighting reflectors. Rear reflectors in the taillight lens may be positioned too high, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk. (Recall 19V799000, 1,785 vehicles affected)
- Power steering hose routing. Hose may rub against the starter motor stud, causing electrical arcing and fluid leaks with increased fire risk. Rerouting is the remedy. (Recalls 17V283000, 18V285000; 186 and 895 vehicles affected respectively)
- Power Distribution Module damage. The rear PDM may be damaged during manufacture, causing marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals to fail. This increases crash risk. Fix includes PDM replacement. (Recalls 18V763000, 20V418000; 1,769 and 2,417 vehicles affected)
- Cargo capacity label errors. Incorrect water capacity listed on the label may cause overloading risks. Corrected labels are provided. (Recall 17V634000, 507 vehicles affected)
- Isolator relay cable installation. Improperly installed chassis battery relay cable may cause sudden power loss increasing crash risk. Correct installation is required. (Recall 16V329000, 44 vehicles affected)
- Fire extinguisher defects. Certain Kidde fire extinguishers can clog, require excessive force to activate, or have nozzles that detach, which may result in injury or failure during fires. Replacement units are offered. (Recall 17V758000, 110,400 vehicles affected)
Owners should review recall details and ensure all remedies are completed to address potential safety risks. Those facing unresolved issues or repeated repairs may have rights under their state lemon law.

EQUIPMENT
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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
