NHTSA Complaint #11425335 — 2020 THOR MOTOR COACH MIRAMAR

You have a Technical Service Bulletin 20-2370 issued 09 November 2020 for this vehicle, so no notice to consumers until the issue arises and their mechanic figures it out. The issue causes an extreme heat build up that melts spark plug wires, causes loss of power and/or misfiring, and could cause a vehicle fire which is not noted in your bulletin. This should have been a recall ceasing sales until affected Ford F-53s were repaired. I encountered this issue while on 38 in the San Bernardino National Forest. This was a major safety issue with the loss of power on mountain roads and potential for fire, which would likely have sparked a wildfire. I also have a 22yr old disabled son who does not ambulate quickly so the thought of trying to get him out in the event of a fire is troubling. To your questions below, there could have been a crash, fire, and/or injuries. Is that what it takes to do the right thing? I’ll provide invoices when my mechanic is done fixing it.
