What this recall means for you
Wiring for the trailer lights may have been inserted into the wrong positions of the trailer lighting socket. As a result, the trailer lights may not function properly, and the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.
When trailer lights do not work as intended, other drivers may not see your signals or your presence on the road, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. An authorized dealer will rewire the connector with a new one at no cost. Owners can contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-500-1020, and should check their vehicle identification number for any open recalls.
