ODI #11762238

Incident: August 12, 2026 · Filed: September 4, 2026

I am filing a complaint regarding manufacturer non-compliance and dealership refusal to execute safety Recall 59C (NHTSA Campaign 25V552) on my 2019-2021 Ram ProMaster (Thor Scope 18m Class B RV upfit). The authorized dealership is refusing to perform a non-destructive repair on the vehicle, demanding instead to dismantle the built-in RV living space/bathroom structure at unknown risk and liability to the owner. Over a month ago, the dealership attempted to circumvent federal recall regulations by pressuring me to accept the uninstalled, loose backup camera hardware over the counter, which I refused due to liability. The dealership is currently withholding my VIN-assigned safety remedy part and refusing service. The Stellantis corporate supervisor assigned to my case has been unresponsive and has failed to coordinate a part transfer to a competent facility capable of utilizing a non-destructive borescope/fishing method to complete the recall. I am requesting federal intervention to compel Stellantis to transfer my safety hardware and provide the dealership the extra time to execute this recall safely and without cost to the consumer."

While driving approximately 45 mph the awning engaged and fulling extended.

Unknown or Other; Equipment

ODI #11491080

Incident: October 25, 2022 · Filed: October 27, 2022

My unit is a 2022 Thor Scope 18M Class B RV built on a RAM Promaster 1500 chassis. The problem is not with the chassis but the build by Thor. The solar panel on the roof is not secure and the aluminum panel is ripping through the bolts. I caught mine early and only one bolt ripped through, however, there are several reports on the THOR Rize/Scope Owners (Future Owners and WannaBees) Facebook page where the panel attachment failed and the solar panel came off the van while driving.
