NHTSA recall 03V145000
Structure · THOR AMERICA
Details
What's wrong: On certain travel trailers, the weight rating of the "d" ring type cable lanyard used to support the rear access door during opening and closing may be insufficient to adequately support the door.
Why it matters: In the event that the "d" ring fails, the rear access door could release unexpectedly, which could create a hazard to the person lowering the rear access door and any bystanders.
The fix: Dealers will replace the existing "d" ring with a higher weight-rated "d" ring that adequately supports the rear access door. Owner notification began April 22, 2003.
