Thor recall 21V-845

Earlier this year i was informed there was a NHTSA recall for my 2017 Thor challenger for cargo bay doors separating. I had spent over $4600 repairing all my bay doors in 2017 and 2018 which were separating from the frames. So I sent TMC all my receipts and pictures as instructed, and just heard today, 8 months later, that they would pay 10% of my expense. As it was not a Thor recall , but a Michianna sheet metal (sic, it was Mishawacka Sheet metal) recall, and I should contact them for reimbursement. Nowhere in the NHTSA recall letter does it mention anyone else but THOR. I am forwarding all correspondence to NHTSA for their views as Thor does not seem to pay attention to Federal laws. I will update later.

Did you read the actual recall on the remedy?

I did, pretty much a band aid. And the cheapest way out.

Thor decides how much time it takes and what materials are used
