What owners reported to NHTSA
11/25/2024, STRUCTURE,VISIBILITY/WIPER: While driving on a crowded freeway a wooden structure fell from the ceiling of my motorhome and landed on the dashboard inches from my steering wheel. If it had hit my steering wheel or my hands, I would have been involved in a multiple vehicle collision. Thank God, I was able to safely pull over to the shoulder to check for damage. The beam was too heavy for me to move it. I drove it to a Camping World repair facili
10/21/2024, STRUCTURE: The contact owns a 2022 Thor Motor Coach Windsport RV built on a 2020 Ford F-53 chassis.

It is also the source of intermittent carbon monoxide alarms being activated. We have had this unsuccessfully repaired under warranty. The cycling continues. If other units of this model series were built the same way, I suspect this is a problem common to all. This a

I realized it was cycling on the high limit switch, which is.generally caused by insufficient air flow over the heat exchanger.
