- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Tellaro 20AT and 20LT, and 2020 Sequence 20A, 20K, and 20L motorhomes. The transmission shifter cable may separate and disconnect from the transmission, causing the vehicle to not perform shifts intended by the driver and the gear shift lever position not matching the actual transmission gear.
- What it can cause
- The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission shift cable, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000185.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 227 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Thor vehicles have been recalled over the power train once before this, most recently in October 2015 as 15V719000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 23V285000 (fuel system, gasoline), 20V424000 (seat belts), 20V169000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Thor Motor Coach with NHTSA on March 17, 2020 as campaign 20V148000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
