4/19/21–THOR Ind. engages Exponent Engineering to conduct analysis of regulators to determine source of oily substance.

 

5/10/21–Safety Committee Meetings conducted at KZ RV, Keystone RV and Jayco RV, to update them on regulator investigation. All committees request further investigation of specific claims and confirmation of Exponent findings.

 

5/12/21–Exponent provides final written report/presentation on regulator analysis.

Only one sample per year was available to test. This testing confirmed similarities in several years.
