STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017 Challenger, Miramar, and Outlaw motorhomes. The external compartment outer door skin may separate from the motorhome during transit.
- What it can cause
- A door skin that separates during transit can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the compartment door skin and replace the door as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 28, 2021. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000247.
- 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 424 vehicles this is a small campaign: 51% 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, 2017, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Thor vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in December 2016 as 16V893000. 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 October 29, 2021 as campaign 21V845000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
