Thor Motor Coach Four Winds Recall 19V775: Seatbelt warning light delayed, raising crash injury risk

NHTSA campaign 19V775, reported October 28, 2019, 378 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

On certain 2019 and 2020 motorhomes, the seatbelt-unfastened warning light does not come on for about five seconds after the ignition is switched to on or start. Because the reminder is delayed, the driver may not notice an unbuckled seatbelt, and the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 for occupant crash protection.

Without the warning reminder, a driver may forget to fasten the seatbelt. An unbelted occupant faces a greater risk of injury in a crash.

The repair is free. Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster at no charge, and owners will be notified by mail. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls, and contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall RC000177), Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, or GMC at 1-800-462-8782.
