What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I have the same issue in my 2014 Outlaw that was identified with the 2017 model year that was covered under the recall, "2017 THOR OUTLAW Recall - Campaign #21V845000". I had the external compartment outer door skin separate from the motorhome while driving.
Michelin 255/80r22.5 tires at 10,399 miles had a side wall belt break on the outside rear passenger tire. While sitting on the side of I-75 for 4.5 hours noticed that steer tires were severely worn. After contacting many different mobile repair companies, no one could get the tire size we needed.
Windshield is falling out. Manufacturer is not being responsive to a critical safety item that could cause death.
The contact stated that the radio shorted out, the electric shades would not go up and down with the control button, and the rear passenger side door frame was deteriorating on the outside. In addition, the floor was separating to the point that the contact could see through the floor.
