THE ENTRY DOOR LATCH HAD A PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT BROKE OFF AND GOT STUCK AND PREVENTED US FROM OPENING THE DOOR. A LOCKSMITH GAINED ENTRY AND REMOVED THE PLASTIC PIECE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THOR MOTORHOMES THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN STUCK INSIDE DURING A LIFE SAFETY EMERGENCY. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTE IT IN OUR FILE. THAT DOESN'T HELP ANYONE ELSE.THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THOR OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND POSTED ON THE THOR MOTORHOME OWNERS FACEBOOK PAGE.
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. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
