The defect
Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling certain 2018 Outlaw 29H motorhomes. The affected vehicles were built incorrectly with a 15 amp fuse for the awning light instead of a 2 amp fuse.
The risk
If the awning light circuit short circuits, the incorrect fuse may increase the risk of a fire.
The remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 15 amp fuse with a 2 amp fuse, free of charge. The recall began on August 9, 2017. Owner's may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000143.
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.
