WE PURCHASED A 2003 THOR JAZZ FIFTH WHEEL RV TRAILER IN JULY OF 2003. WE RECEIVED CARLISLE TIRES ON IT AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. SIZE ST225/75R15. WE HAD ONE BLOW OUT LAST SUMMER (2004). WE HAD 2 BLOW OUT ON APRIL 21, 2005. AND WE HAD ONE BLOW OUT YESTERDAY, JUNE 14TH, 2005. UPON TAKING THE TRAILER TO THE BODY SHOP, THEY INFORMED US THAT CARLISLE WAS RECALLING THESE PARTICULAR TIRES AND PAYING FOR DAMAGES. BECAUSE OF THE BLOW OUT YESTERDAY, THE TRAILER IS NOW DAMAGED AGAIN!! AS OF THIS DATE, CARLISLE HAS NOT RETURNED ANY OF OUR EMAILS, AND WHEN CALLING THEM WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE OFFICE IS CLOSED.
ON CERTAIN TRAVEL AND FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH SUBURBAN AND ATWOOD FURNACES, THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED. THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT WILL ALLOW LEAKAGE OF FUMES WHICH CONTAIN COMBUSTION PRODUCTS, INCLUDING A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF POTENTIALLY LETHAL CARBON MONOXIDE GAS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FUMES COULD ENTER INTO THE TRAILER AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS ON INSPECTING THE FURNACE VENT. IF AN OWNER BELIEVES THE VENT IS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, IS NOT SURE HOW TO INSPECT THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT, OR NEEDS ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE FURNACE EXHAUST VENT INSTALLATION INSPECTED AND CORRECTED, OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT THOR IMMEDIATELY AT 1-877-870-2638 OR VIA THE INTERNET AT HTTP://WWW.THORCA.COM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 15, 2006.
ON CERTAIN FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILERS, THE TAILPIPE USED TO RELEASE THE EXHAUST FROM THE GENERATOR WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO REACH THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER. THOR MODIFIED THE TAILPIPE BY PLACING AN EXTENSION ON THE TAILPIPE. AS A RESULT, THE GENERATOR'S EXHAUST MAY BE RELEASED UNDER THE TRAILER AT THE POINT OF THE MODIFICATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE TAILPIPE EXHAUST NEEDS TO BE RELEASED AWAY FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRAILER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING TAILPIPE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 13, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT THOR CALIFORNIA AT 1-888-697-8467, EXTENSION 215.
