What this recall means for you
Certain 2018-2019 Thor Motor Coach Outlaw motorhomes (model 29J) have a sofa seat belt bracket that may not meet federal strength requirements for seat belt anchorages. The bracket may not hold up to crash forces, so it could fail to properly restrain an occupant seated on the sofa.
If the bracket fails in a crash, the seat belt anchorage may give way, which increases the risk of injury to the person using that belt. The vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
Owners should contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 and reference recall RC000151. Dealers will install a new bracket free of charge. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
