The defect
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Tuscany XTE motorhomes manufactured March 28, 2013, to February 27, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the dinette convertible table top insert may slide out of position allowing the insert to flip up if it is sat on.
The risk
If the insert flips up when sat on, the occupant may fall, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
TMC has notified owners, and dealers will install an additional support bracket to slide the table insert into, preventing the insert from flipping up, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2015. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000104.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
