I own a Thor Tellaro RV, body made by Dodge. Thor puts a 2nd alternator under the hood and a flange in front of it. This flange rubs against the radiator hose causing it to break. The coolant caused leaked out and the engine overheated and quit. Thor has acknowledged this problem, but Thor had no recall notice and will not cover the engine under warranty. This could have been a safety issue by starting an engine fire and having the vehicle stop in the middle of a state highway. Fortunately, neither of those things happened.

The contact owns a 2022 Thor Motor Coach Tellaro built on a 2021 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal thumping sound coming from the roof of the RV, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway to investigate. After a visual inspection, the contact observed that the roof mounted solar panel had partially detached. Upon further investigation, the contact became aware that the solar panel had completely detached. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who declined to inspect the RV. The contact was advised to take the RV to a Thor dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V759000 (Equipment), but the VIN was not included.
