“I was driving southbound on loop 303 arizona at approx 60 MPH in the motorhome when vehicles passing started making hand gestures as if something was wrong with motorhome. I pulled the motorhome onto the shoulder of the roadway and upon exiting and beginning to check the outside of the motorhome I found on the driver side one of cargo doors outer skin had separated from the cargo door back to the hatch handle which had stopped the door skin from completely coming off. The cargo door was the first door on driver side front that is for the coach battery compartment. …”

“The adhesive bond between the panes of glass on the driver’s side frameless window has failed. Approximately 80% of the adhesive has failed allowing the front of the glass to detach. I not only fear it will now fall out while driving, but it is also constantly fogged up and hard to see my mirror. This is a large piece of glass. Thor (the manufacture) has done nothing more than inform me that the warranty period for my bus has ended.”

“We had a cargo door skin failure while driving on I20 in Dallas on a windy day, 2/1/21. We have a 2017 Miramar which is the cousin of the Challenger. It peeled off while driving and went airborne behind us. We were stunned as we heard the peeling off and saw the launch of the cargo door skin. It broke the lock from the door frame as well. Miraculously, it landed on the side of the highway while motorists were swerving to miss the projectile. We stopped and checked all the doors including the outside kitchen, all of which are in the debonding process. …”

“The contact owns a 2017 thor Miramar 34.4. While driving 60 MPH, the aluminum skin on the compartment door attached to the outdoor kitchen detached from the vehicle, followed by the actual door. The contact pulled the rv over, drove to a service station, and used duct tape to cover the parts of the vehicle that detached. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle's warranty was expired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.”
