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 53 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% 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 one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Thor Motor Coach vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 11 times before this, most recently in November 2020 as 20V718000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA. 7 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V792000 (structure), 25V791000 (structure), 23V759000 (equipment), 23V285000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 May 26, 2021 as campaign 21V396000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
