Wheel separations at thor indusries have predominantly occurred in vehicles manufactured by keystone rv.keystone RV has reported 110 separations of steel wheels of 64,727(0.17%) and 15 separations of aluminum wheels of 6,984 produced (0.21%) in recreational vehiclesmanufactured since march 2003.OTHER divisions of thor industries, dutchman (4), thor california (0), thor america (2), komfort corp (2), and airstream (14) have reported fewer wheel separations over a broader time period (since 2000) than keystone rv. Since a significant majority (92%) of the wheel separations that have occurred in thor industries vehicles have occurred in keystone RV vehicles, odi will focus investigation activity on these products and open an engineering analysis (ea) at keystone RV to investigate the cause(s) for wheel separations.
