- Summary
- On certain cargo/travel trailers, there is a possibility of overloading in the rear cargo area. Too much weight incorrectly positioned in this area can result in a light hitch weight and affect stability.
- Consequence
- Depending on the specific tow vehicle and its hitch equipment, a sufficiently light hitch weight can result in sway at highway speeds. This could cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.
- Remedy
- Owners will be asked to inspect their trailer, tow vehicle, and hitch equipment and to follow proper loading procedures as explained in the owner's guide supplement which will be provided with the owner letter. The recall began on November 15, 2006. Owners should contact thor at 1-888-697-8467. Note: this campaign supersedes a previous recall (please see 04V242).

Has your Thor California been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Thor California dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
