Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Jul 15, 2002
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: ON CERTAIN TRAVEL TRAILERS AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH AERO FUEL TANKS, FUEL CAN LEAK FROM THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SURROUNDING THE FUEL TANK INCREASES. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SURROUNDING THE FUEL TANK INCREASES, A POTENTIAL PRESSURE BUILD-UP IN THE FUEL TANK MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE ROLLOVER VALVE UTILIZED ON THE FUEL TANK NOT PROPERLY VENTING THE PRESSURE.
The risk: IN THE EVENT THAT THIS PRESSURE BUILD-UP OCCURS, FUEL CAN SPRAY OUT ONTO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS OPENING THE GAS CAP TO THE TRAILER.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 25, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT THOR AT 1-888-697-8467, EXT. 215, OR AERO TANK AT 1-800-783-4826 (LYNDA).
