What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017 Palazzo 36.1 and 36.3 motorhomes. The Federal certification label on these vehicles indicates an incorrect front tire rim size. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

The risk

If the front rim is replaced based on the incorrect label information, it can cause an unsafe driving condition, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

TMC will notify owners and will provide corrected replacement labels, free of charge. The recall began on June 2, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000133.

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.
