ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Hurricane and Windsport motorhomes, models 27B, 29M, 32T, 33X, 34J, 34R and 35M. The electronic control center circuit board may be damaged from voltages over 17 volts causing damage to the circuit board.
- What it can cause
- A damaged circuit board could increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Thor will notify owners, and dealers will add an additional circuit module to the existing component board to provide reverse polarity and over-current protection, free of charge. The recall began October 20, 2020. Owners may contact Thor customer service at 1-877-855-2867. Thor's number for this recall is RC000203.
- 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 2,061 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Thor Motor Coach vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 11 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V423000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V121000 (equipment), 20V339000 (visibility).
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 August 21, 2020 as campaign 20V498000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
