Engine and engine cooling › Exhaust system › Manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe
Thor California Jazz and 2 more
The defect
On certain fifth wheel and travel trailers, the tailpipe used to release the exhaust from the generator was not long enough to reach the side of the trailer. thor modified the tailpipe by placing an extension on the tailpipe. as a result, the generator's exhaust may be released under the trailer at the point of the modification.
The risk
The tailpipe exhaust needs to be released away from the underside of the trailer.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the existing tailpipe. owner notification began may 13, 2003. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact thor california at 1-888-697-8467, extension 215.
