246 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, the solar panel mounting brackets could loosen or break. If this happens, the solar panel could separate from the vehicle while driving. Safety Risk: A solar panel that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Thor Motor Coach will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorhome to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the solar panel mounting brackets.
- Electrical#2019426
266 units affected
Issue: On certain motorhomes, there may be a loose connection between the battery cables and the Battery Isolation Manager (BIM) or the Battery Isolation Relay (BIR). A lose connection could cause a premature failure of the BIM/BIR and/or cause electrical arcing (sparks). Safety Risk: Electrical arcing could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Thor Motor Coach will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install lock washers to secure the battery cable to the BIM/BIR. The BIM/BIR will be replaced as necessary.

148 units affected
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.
- Suspension#2018302
34 units affected
On certain motorhomes, the rear axle U-bolts may not have been properly tightened during installation. These bolts could loosen or break, potentially resulting in a separation of the rear axle from the vehicle. This could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and tighten the U-bolts as necessary.

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.

8 units affected
On certain motorhomes outfitted with Carefree awnings, the mounting bracket that secures the awning to the motorhome can crack and break apart. If the mounting bracket were to break apart, the awning can collapse, which could strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will remove and replace the mounting brackets.
- Engine#2011117
66 units affected
On certain motorhomes, wiring for the catalytic converter's oxygen sensor may not be properly secured. As such, the wiring may contact the exhaust and melt/short, which could result in Check Engine Light illumination and, in some instances, the engine to shut down while driving. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor wiring by installing an additional fastener to the existing clamp.
