What this recall means for you
Some motorhomes built between June and September 2016 may be missing a mid-ship marker light. Without it, other drivers can misjudge how long the vehicle is, which raises the risk of a crash. The vehicles also do not meet federal lighting requirements under FMVSS 108.
If the marker light is missing, the dealer will install one at no cost to you. Owners can contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-500-1020, referencing recall number RC000124. To find out whether your vehicle is affected, check your VIN for open recalls.
