Issue: On certain motorhomes, the wrong bolts were used to attach the barrel chair to the floor. As a result, the chair could detach in a crash. As the seat belt is attached to the chair, the seat belt mounts will also fail. Safety Risk: A seat and seat belt that detach in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. Corrective Actions: Thor Motor Coach will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the size of the bolts used to attach the barrel chair pedestal, and replace them, if necessary.

On certain motorhomes, the liquid propane (LP) hose could rub on the bottom metal plate of the Norcold refrigerator, and may develop a leak. Leaking propane in the presence of an ignition source could result in an explosion or fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the routing of the LP hose, cut away a portion of the refrigerator’s bottom metal plate and install a new grommet to ensure proper clearance of the LP hose, as required.
Accessories#2017613December 7, 2017
6,579 units affected
On certain motorhomes equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers with black plastic handles and valves, the fire extinguishers may become clogged or require excessive force to activate. Also, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury, and fail to discharge. In case of fire, failure of the extinguisher to function could result in injury and/or property damage. Correction: Owners will be provided with instructions on how to inspect the fire extinguisher to see if it is recalled. Replacement fire extinguishers will be supplied by Kidde directly.
