Details

What's wrong: On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers, the tailpipe used to release the exhaust from the generator was not long enough to reach the side of the trailer. Thor modified the tailpipe by placing an extension on the tailpipe. As a result, the generator's exhaust may be released under the trailer at the point of the modification.

Why it matters: The tailpipe exhaust needs to be released away from the underside of the trailer.

The fix: Dealers will replace the existing tailpipe. Owner notification began May 13, 2003.
