Thor Motor Coach campaign RC000202 · Owners notified September 14, 2020

Defect description

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Daybreak 23DB, 2018-2021 Four Winds 23U, and 2018-2021 Chateau 23U motorhomes. Bolts of the wrong size were used to secure the barrel chair pedestals, allowing the pedestal to separate from the floor in the event of a crash. As such, these motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "Seating Systems" and number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Safety consequence

If the pedestal were to separate from the floor during a crash, the seat belt anchorages may fail, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

TMC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the pedestal bolt size, correcting the hardware as necessary, free of charge. This recall began September 14, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000202.

Air Bags; Seats

ODI #11457241

Incident: May 1, 2021 · Filed: March 18, 2022

After purchasing used Thor Four Winds 31Y with 1095 miles on the odometer from Albany Rv, Albany NY in April 2021, the air bag system began to stay constantly on (illuminated). The dealer refused to address the issue. I had the air bag system repaired at Albany Light Truck and Car Repair, Albany NY at a cost of $1734.05. According to Albany Light Truck and Car Repair the cause of the problem was improper installation of the swivel front seats that pitched the seat sensor between the seat base and the vehicle floor cutout. Seats were rewired including drilling a separate hole in the floor next to the passenger seat to accommodate wire routing. Thor refused to reimburse me for the repair as I requested in December 2021 via Registered mail. Scans of the repair bill and the completed repair are attached.
