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.

Risk. In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

MOTORHOME WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WHILE GETTING READY FOR A TRIP, GOT LOCKED IN. THE DOOR LATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. CLIMBED OUT WINDOW, COULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH KEY. HAD TO CLIMB BACK IN AND TAKE DOOR LATCH APART PIECE BY PIECE TO OPEN DOOR. LOOKING AT INSIDE OF LATCH, THE PLASTIC MECHANISM THAT RETRACTS THE ALLOY PLUNGER BOLT AND THE PLUNGER BOLT ITSELF WERE BOTH BROKEN AND WEDGED, PREVENTING ME FROM MOVING THE PLUNGER BOLT MANUALLY. AT THE VERY LEAST, THIS PLUNGER BOLT SHOULD BE MADE OF STEEL. THE AREA THAT SNAPPED IN HALF WAS TOO THIN TO BE MADE OF ALLOY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY. A DELAY IN EXITING DURING A FIRE COULD BE FATAL. AS IT WAS, CLIMBING OUT OF A WINDOW CAN RESULT IN INJURY. VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE UNTIL LATCH IS REPLACED. IT CAN TAKE DAYS TO RECEIVE NEW PART. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE IN OUR DRIVEWAY.
