2014 Thor Motor Coach Ace

Defect. Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling various 2003-2018 recreational vehicles, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V758-5764.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

HYDROLIC BOOSTER IS LEAKING INSIDE COACH AND DRIPPING UNDER BRAKE PEDAL. I NOTICE IT MORE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD.

BOUGHT RV FALL 2017. WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE, COULDNT GET IN BECAUSE DOOR LOCKED BY ITSELF. HAD TO BREAK INTO RV AND TAKE DOOR HANDLE OFF AS KEYS WOULD NOT OPEN IT OR MANUAL OPERATION WOULD NOT OPEN IT. REFUSED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER REPLACEMENT FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. VERY POOR DESIGN. THE POP ALUMINUM SLAVE BROKE WITH NORMAL OPENING AND CLOSING OF DOOR. WE JUST CAME BACK FROM A FAMILY VACATION AND WOULD HAVE HATED TO THINK WHAT WOULD/COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH 2 SMALL DOGS AND 2 CHILDREN. *TT *JS
