Example complaints
Other or unknown: “The vehicle was stationary when I found the double pane window coming apart. If I had been driving down the road or highway the glass would have came off into on coming traffic or hit a car behind me. The windows are made by herh windows. I believe another company has bought them out now.”
NHTSA complaint #11360961, filed 2020-09, 6,000 milesBody and structure: “The wood floors in the cargo bays of my class 'a' motorhome were not sealed during manufacturing, which allowed water to enter the bays and rotting the wood floors. This resulted in a hazardous condition while the vehicle is in motion where items, in the bays, could fall under the tires or jeopardize the safety of other vehicles. This condition has occurred twice on my vehicle and was repaired once by Thor under warranty, but reoccurred less than six months later.”
NHTSA complaint #11149573, filed 2018-11, 10,000 milesEquipment: “We are very concerned the windows on our 2016 Palazzo with only 12000 miles on it has windows that are separating. They started separating at 8000. We have 5 windows that are separating and all of the sudden are hanging off the motor home. It would be devastating if they fell off and hit another motor vehicle or motorcycle.”
