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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

RV- 2022 Thor Miramar 34.5 With 2021 Ford F53 Chassis I appreciate your attention because this is the BIGGEST issue and safety concern. We spent over 160k on this class A that doesn't even feel safe to drive. As the driver or passenger, we are white knuckled. There is no stability when driving. The steering wheel is all over the place. A gust of wind pushes us off the road, every bump completely jars the camper. This is absolutely horrible. It is unsafe and scary. We are very experienced drivers and have drove large trucks and fire trucks. But this doesn't compare to anything we have ever driven. But they said don't worry you can fix that: Install springs, shocks, sway bar, trac bar. All an additional added cost! 160k now add a 10k more to make it safe on the road. Why would Thor allow this on the road? Why build a camper that you know is unstable and then say oh you can add this to improve your drive. It's called taking the short cut, bare minimum to get it out the door. And it's a horrible practice. Why not add stability to the camper. This camper model 34.6 is extremely unstable while driving.

This is a Class A Motorhome. It has one door for entering and exiting the camper. The door handle to get in and out is a horrible design. As a firefighter it scares me and I plan to change it as soon as I find a perfect match. If you are outside trying to get in you can not open the door easily. You have to pull it with 2 hands and violently force, yank, pull the door open. This is definitely a safety concern. This specific type of door handle is a well known issue with Thor motor homes. There has been so many complaints and concerns about it but currently there is no perfect match to replace it. How can Thor be aware of this and still continue to make this handle.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

RC000219SADealer

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:INTERNAL:BEARINGS/BUSHINGS

On your vehicle, the rear axle may contain an inadequate volume of lubricating oil. An inadequate volume of rear axle lubricant may result in rear wheel bearing damage potentially leading to bearing seizure. Bearing seizure may lead to rear axle or driveshaft failure. A rear axle or driveshaft failure may result in loss of vehicle motive power, loss of transmission park function, and loss of parking brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. This affects the following Thor Motor Coach products: model year 2021/2022 Ace, Challenger, Freedom Traveler, Hurricane, Miramar, Outlaw, and Windsport motorhomes

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
