What this recall means for you

Some 2020 Thor Motor Coach motorhomes may be missing the reinforcing brackets that support the seat belts on the dinette and booth seats. Without these brackets, the seat belt anchorages do not meet federal seat belt anchorage requirements.

In a crash, the seat belt anchorages could fail, which raises the risk of injury to people sitting in those seats.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install the missing brackets at no cost to you. You can contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 and reference recall number RC000187. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
