Thor Motor Coach Tuscany Recall 19V799: Rear reflectors may be misplaced, reducing visibility

NHTSA campaign 19V799, reported November 7, 2019, 1,785 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The rear reflectors inside the taillight lenses on these motorhomes may be mounted too high. This means the vehicle does not fully meet federal lighting requirements (FMVSS 108) for rear reflective devices.

Because the reflectors may be less visible to other drivers, the motorhome could be harder to see on the road in some conditions, which increases the risk of a crash.

The repair is free. Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install adhesive reflectors at no charge. For questions, contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall number RC000180). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
