What owners report
FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM, THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM DISAPPEARED FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND EVENTUALLY BECAME ENTAGLED WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE RENDERING THE WIPERS FROM WORKING. WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO LOOK AT IT. ANOTHER MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO INSPECT THE WIPERS AND REPOSITIONED THE WIPER ARMS TO THE SPLINES AND TESTED OK. HE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE SPLINES ON THE PIVOT SHAFT THAT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE ARM IN PROPER ALIGNMENT EVEN THOUGH THE NUT HOLDING THE ARM WAS TIGHT. IT WAS FINE TILL SEPTEMBER WHEN THE WIPERS FAILED AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM OUTSIDE ANNAPOLIS, MD. TOOK
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL WIPER FAILURES ON MY MOTORHOME THAT THOR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT. THE FIRST HAPPENED IN JANUARY 2015 WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH DURING A NORMAL RAIN, THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER ARM OVER EXTENDED CAUSING THE WIPERS TO BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE TO INTERFERE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE WIPERS CEASED TO FUNCTION. IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY INSTALLED A NEW WIPER MOTOR. EVERYTHING WAS FINE TILL THE 2ND TIME IN JULY 2015, THE DRIVERS SIDE OVER EXTENDED AGAIN CAUSING THE SAME CONDITION. I STOPPED SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND TRIED TO ADJUST THE ARM WHERE IT ATTACHED TO THE PIVOT, BUT THE PIVOT ASSEMBLY BROKE. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO
WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE OUTSIDE KITCHEN ON OUR 2015 MIRIMAR. ON OUR LAST OUTING, ONE OF THE STRUTS THAT HOLD THE DOOR OPEN BROKE OFF. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT IT WAS SCARY. I TOOK A LOOK AT THE STRUT AND IT LOOKED FINE. HOWEVER, THE BRACKET ON THE DOOR WAS BADLY BENT. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I FOUND THE THREE REMAINING BRACKETS WERE ALSO BENT. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, WE NEVER DID ANY THING WITH THIS DOOR OTHER THAN OPEN AND CLOSE IT. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO KEEP USING THE KITCHEN, I THOUGHT ABOUT USING THE BRACKET OFF THE DOOR STRUT ON THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. I REALIZED IT MIGHT NOT FIT SINCE THE APPLICATION WAS DIFFERENT (HORIZONTAL VS VERTICAL). I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THE EXACT SAME BRACKET USED
FOUND REAR SWAY BAR BRACKET UPPER BOLT MISSING, BRACKET LOOSE AND BUSHING OUT OF PLACE. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SWAY BAR, AXLE OR CHASSIS.

UNKNOWN MILEAGE WHEN CONDITION OCCURRED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 THOR MIRAMAR. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE NEAR THE FRONT END ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS TILTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE WHEEL TO THE AXLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE OUTER BEARING WAS FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, THE SPINDLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.
