Thor Industries: 63 published Texas lemon law decisions
Every published TxDMV decision naming Thor Industries or a brand it owns, for case-years 2014-2026, with what each order did and a link to the order itself.
This is not a census of Texas lemon vehicles, and no number on this page is a defect rate. Confidential settlements, manufacturer buybacks agreed before a hearing, and complaints withdrawn along the way never enter this corpus at all and are structurally invisible to it. What is counted here is contested proceedings that reached a published decision, which is a small and non-random slice of everything that goes wrong with a vehicle in Texas.
A manufacturer with more decisions here is not "more of a lemon" than one with fewer. It may simply have sold far more units in Texas, or its owners may be likelier to push a dispute to a contested hearing rather than settle. There is no sales or registration denominator behind these counts, so the division that would turn them into a rate cannot be done, and this site does not publish one.
The source documents name recreational-vehicle brands inconsistently, so brands owned by one company are counted here under that company. This page combines 14 brands as the documents print them: Keystone (16), Jayco (8), Heartland (7), Dutchmen (6), CrossRoads RV (5), Thor Motor Coach (5), DRV (4), KZ Recreational Vehicles (4), Tiffin Motorhomes (3), Cruiser RV (1), Entegra Coach (1), Highland Ridge (1), Thor (1), Thor Livin' Lite (1).
Corporate ownership is an editorial judgment this site made, not something the orders state. It was checked against THOR Industries' own published family-of-companies list (thorindustries.com/thor-companies), plus the acquisition record for DRV Luxury Suites and Cruiser RV (via Heartland, January 2015) and Highland Ridge (via Jayco, June 2016). Verified 2026-08-24. Individual records below still show the make exactly as its document prints it, so you can disagree with the grouping and still use the data.
What these 63 orders did
Counts of published proceedings naming Thor Industries. These are not shares of anything: there is no figure here for how many vehicles Thor Industries sold in Texas, so no proportion computed from this table would mean what it appears to mean.
| What the order did | Decisions |
|---|---|
| Repurchase ordered | 11 |
| Repair ordered | 9 |
| Dismissed | 43 |
Which vehicles these decisions were about
Make and model exactly as the source documents print them, so a model that two orders name differently appears twice rather than being silently merged. A model appearing more often is not a defect rate.

The honest use of this page is to read the orders. Every row links the document it came from, and those documents say what happened in a specific dispute over a specific vehicle: what the defect was, how many repair attempts there were, and what the examiner ordered.
The dishonest use is to treat the number at the top as a quality score. It counts contested proceedings that reached a published decision, which is a function of how many vehicles a manufacturer sells in Texas, how its warranty department handles disputes before they get that far, and how likely its owners are to push a case to hearing rather than accept an offer. Those are three different things, and none of them is the reliability of the vehicle.
