EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER
- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Hurricane and Windsport motorhomes. The overhead cabinets located above the driver and front passenger seats may detach and fall onto the seat occupants, possibly causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A loss of vehicle control can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- TMC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the overhead cabinets, and reinstall them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 29, 2021. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000208.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

How this campaign compares
At 940 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% 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 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Thor vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 22 times before this, most recently in November 2019 as 19V789000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 December 21, 2020 as campaign 20V804000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
