NHTSA recall 06V466000
Structure · Thor California, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: On certain cargo/travel trailers, there is a possibility of overloading in the rear cargo area. Too much weight incorrectly positioned in this area can result in a light hitch weight and affect stability.
Why it matters: Depending on the specific tow vehicle and its hitch equipment, a sufficiently light hitch weight can result in sway at highway speeds. This could cause a crash involving the trailer and tow vehicle.
The fix: Owners will be asked to inspect their trailer, tow vehicle, and hitch equipment and to follow proper loading procedures as explained in the owner's guide supplement which will be provided with the owner letter. The recall began on November 15, 2006. Owners should contact thor at 1-888-697-8467.
