Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Apr 21, 2023
2,919 units potentially affected
The defect: Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Sequence, 2021-2024 Rize, Scope, Tellaro, 2023-2024 Dazzle, and Twist motorhomes, equipped with certain Cummins Onan QG 2800i generator sets. The fuel hose between the inline fuel filter and the injection pump module (IPM) may have inadequate clamp force, possibly resulting in a gasoline leak.
The risk: A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
The remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel hose and clamps, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 22, 2023. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000294.

SEAT BELTS; SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY

Jul 22, 2020
49 units potentially affected
The defect: Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Sequence and Tellaro motorhomes. The dinette booth seat belts may be too short preventing them from being usable by some occupants. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
The risk: Inability to use the seat belt may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The remedy: TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 18-inch seat belt tether with a 24-inch tether on both sides of the dinette booth, free of charge. This recall began September 16, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000198.

Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words

Interior & seats
Filed Jul 14, 2023

Since purchase in April 2022, driver seat has side to side and up/down movement which is not part of the design, and appears to be unstable and potential safety hazard for driving. This movement does not occur in the similar swivel style passenger seat. Dealership stated seat issues would be repaired under warranty from Thor. Multiple repair attempts were made by authorized service provider (dealership) addressing other seat issues (not adjusting or rotating properly as designed), but excessive play in the seat still exists. Continued requests have been made to have this addressed in a timely fashion. Dealership and manufacturer have been questioned on whether there is potential safety risk for seat to come loose or dislodged during a collision due to this unstable movement, with no answers. Have seen multiple posts online that other Thor Class B owners are experiencing similar issue. LCI/Lippert (the original seat manufacturer) has been contacted and deferred us back to Thor, as they have agreement with Thor for ongoing service of these parts.

Filed Oct 12, 2020

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (I-90 ACROSS MONTANA AND DAKOTAS), THROUGH WINDY WEATHER, THE ROOF MOUNTED WINDOW WOULD POP OPEN AND BEGIN FLAPPING IN THE WIND. THE LATCHING MECHANISM GETS PULLED APART DURING THE WIND GUSTS ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO OPEN BY ITSELF. THIS IS DUE TO THE BAR HANDLE ON THE LATCH FLEXING ENOUGH TO POP OUT OF ITS TRACK ALLOWING THE LATCH MECHANISM TO RELEASE.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

TSB 21-03

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL; STRUCTURE

This document refers to corrective actions for the repair and sealing of roof systems identified by the OEM.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
