What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
There is a recall on the windows. I received the notice from NHTSA in Jan of 2023. I have been trying to get Thor to perform the repair for 14 months, without success. The windows "could" fall off. In fact, one of my windows did fly off on the freeway and go through the windshield of a passenger car.
The double pane windows on the sides of the motorhome separate which allows the window pane to fall off into the road while traveling. This pane of glass falling out at highway speeds could cause serious harm to other travelers and vehicles.
Hello We took the RV on our trip in Nov 2021 and noticed cold air entering the cabin near the driver and passenger feet. After pulling the 45degress trim that covers sits between the floor and wall I noticed that is a gap and I could see the road.
