- The defect
- Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2024 Palladium and Talavera motorhomes. The liquid propane (LP) tank is located too close to the chassis exhaust, which can allow the tank to overheat.
- What it can cause
- An LP tank that overheats can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a retrofit heatshield, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 17, 2024. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020.
- 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 17 vehicles this is a small campaign: 88% 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, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2024, 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 25 times before this, most recently in June 2024 as 24V426000. 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 September 10, 2024 as campaign 24V666000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
