In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
6 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 7 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
If the windshield wipers cannot be used, driver visibility would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Failure of the windshield wipers may impair the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the welds are insufficient, the hinge may fail and the door could open with more force than normal, increasing the risk of injury.
If the vehicle can be shifted into reverse without the brakes being applied, the vehicle may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the vehicle is loaded to its weight capacity without including the weight of the water carried onboard, the motorhome may be overloaded. This can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2016 THOR MOTOR OUTLAWs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
