NHTSA recalls and owner complaints for the 2005 Thor California Fury.
Recalls filed by Thor California
Structure #06V468000 · 2006 · 117 units
Problem: On certain cargo/travel trailers, overloading and incorrectly positioning cargo in the rear cargo area can result in alight hitch weight and affect stability.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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).
