What this recall means for you
The motorized roller shade over the windshield at the driver's seat can unroll without warning while the motorhome is being driven. If that happens, the shade can block the driver's view of the road.
Because a blocked windshield reduces the driver's visibility, it raises the risk of a crash. Owners should have the recall repair done as soon as possible.
The remedy is free. Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a fastener so the motor cannot let the shade roll down while driving. Owners can call Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall number RC000165), and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
