STEVENSON, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 07/10/10 -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Thor Industries, Inc. ("Thor" or the "Company") (NYSE: THO) during the period between November 30, 2009 and June 10, 2010 at 12:13 p.m. EDT, inclusive (the "Class Period").
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than August 24, 2010 and be selected by the Court.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that certain accounting positions taken by the Company in its audited financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31 2009, as well as the unaudited financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended January 31, 2009, April 30, 2009, October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010, were inaccurate and may have to be restated and that Thor used its capital to support its business with dealer loans and consumer lenders to support floor inventory and sales, and failed to properly account for these maneuvers. The Complaint alleges that after, on June 10, 2010, Thor issued a press release in which it announced that it was delaying the release of the Company's 10-Q due to their evaluation of certain accounting positions previously taken by the Company in its audited financial statements, the value of Thor's shares declined significantly.
