- The defect

- What it can cause
- A missing heat shield increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a heat shield, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 22, 2021. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000228.
- 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.nhtsa.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 321 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% 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 2018 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Thor Motor Coach vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 12 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V396000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 20V339000 (visibility), 20V303000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 20V178000 (power train).
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.
