NHTSA recall 02V163000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Thor California, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers equipped with aero fuel tanks, fuel can leak from the fuel tank when the ambient temperature surrounding the fuel tank increases. In addition, when the ambient temperature surrounding the fuel tank increases, a potential pressure build-up in the fuel tank may arise as a result of the rollover valve utilized on the fuel tank not properly venting the pressure.
Why it matters: In the event that this pressure build-up occurs, fuel can spray out onto an individual who is opening the gas cap to the trailer.
The fix: Dealers will replace the existing rollover valve on the fuel tank. Owner notification began September 25, 2002.
