2005 THOR CALIFORNIA FRENZY Recall

Campaign:

06V468000 on 12/06/2006

Component:

Structure

Manufactured:

03/31/2003 - 03/30/2004

Affected:

117

Defect:

On certain cargo/travel trailers, overloading and incorrectly positioning cargo in the rear cargo area can result in alight 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. too much weight incorrectly positioned can also result in severe bending of the a-frame assembly, failure of the coupler assembly, and/or failure of the safety chains. this can cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.

Correction:

Dealers will inspect the trailer, tow vehicle and hitch equipment; install new cargo load limit labels and placards in the cargo area; furnish loading limit information; replace the coupler and safety chains; and reinforce the a-frame. 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 04v243).
