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.

In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
Thor will notify owners, instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2018.

THE FOLLOWING ISSUE IS COMMON TO THE THOR MOTOR COACH WHICH IS BUILT ON THE F550 CHASSIS AS IS ATTESTED TO IN NUMEROUS RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (RV) FORUMS. THIS ISSUE IS DURING REFUELING THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF FROM THE FUEL NOZZLE CONSTANTLY SHUTS OFF. THE OPERATOR IS REQUIRED TO STAND THERE AND SLOWLY FILL THE TANK AND EVEN THEN THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF SHUTS OFF MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE RESULT IS THAT THE FUEL TANK OVERFILLS AND THE FUEL SPEWS FORTH FROM THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE GROUND AND THE OPERATOR. DURING THE FOREGOING THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND OCCURS AT ALL SERVICE STATIONS. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE IN EITHER THE DESIGN OR INSTALLATION OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK.
