TIRES:VALVE
- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Aria, Palazzo, Tuscany, and Venetian motorhomes built on a Daimler Trucks (DTNA) chassis. The tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel may contact the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged.
- What it can cause
- Extensive damage to the valve stem extension may result in a loss of tire pressure of the inner wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- TMC will notify owners, and DTNA dealers will inspect the inner wheel valve stem stabilizers, and adjust as needed and/or replace the inner valve stem, free of charge. The recall began November 2, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-800-524-5210 extension 104 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. TMC's number for this recall is RC000204. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-861.
- 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 1,631 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 16 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 17 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2017, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V113000 (equipment), 21V756000 (structure), 21V522000 (structure), 20V418000 (exterior lighting).
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 September 15, 2020 as campaign 20V559000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
