What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
The trailer hitch mounting brackets failed (metal sheered) where the hitch mounts to the frame. It attaches at 2 points, and both points malfunctioned. My trailer almost separated from the RV while I was driving.
This also caused the headlight control switch to break and become unusable. Additionally, there was visible separation of the RV walls from the floor. This is a recognized manufacturing defect by Thor Motor Coach.
