2004 Thor California Jazz Frenzy & 2004 Thor California Tahoe Fury + 1 more recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain 'toy box' travel trailers, improper weight distribution may occur when the back of the travel trailer is loaded with cargo.
💥 The risk
Under certain load conditions, the improper weight distribution may cause handling problems with the travel trailer, including but not limited to, potential swaying of the trailer while being towed on the road, which could ultimately result in a crash involving the travel trailer and the tow vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will add the necessary weight at the trailer's a-frame, change the trailers a-frame to a thicker steel, and change the trailer's coupler and safety chains to a higher weight rating. The recall is expected to begin during january or february 2005. Owners should contact thor california at 1-888-697-8467.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
