What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2017 Thor Motor Hurricane, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Engine
Reports naming the engine itself — including stalling, misfires, oil consumption, cooling and internal engine components.
From owner reports, verbatim
Returned home from a weekend trip with the RV with no issues. Departing my home to return the RV to storage, as I was driving down the street, the RV engine stopped, no brakes, no lights, no steering, all gauges froze in position. There was NO warning lights, or other symptoms prior to the failure. Could not stop the vehicle without using the emergency brake. Vehicle would not restart. Vehicle was towed to a repair facility. Repair facility was able to start the vehicle, but could not duplicate failure.
