Recalls- Underbody heat shield. Recall 21V441000 affects 321 vehicles due to a missing heat shield between the LP tank and chassis muffler, increasing fire risk. Dealers will install the required heat shield free of charge. Owner notifications were mailed July 22, 2021.
- LP gas tank assembly. Included in recall 21V441000, the absence of a heat shield poses a fire hazard. The fix involves dealer-installed heat shields at no cost to owners. This recall does not require owners to avoid driving or parking outside.
- Cargo capacity label. Recall 17V634000 covers 507 units because the cargo carrying capacity label may misstate water heater or fresh water tank capacity, potentially leading to overloading. Corrected labels will be sent to owners free of charge starting November 2017.
- Trailer lighting wiring. Recall 17V692000 involves 36 motorhomes where trailer light wiring was inserted incorrectly, causing lights to malfunction and increasing crash risk. Dealers will replace wiring connectors for free. Recall began November 2017.

EQUIPMENT
Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling various 2003-2018 recreational vehicles, equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. See a list of the affected trailer models at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V758-5764.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

The wiring for the trailer lights may have been inserted into the wrong locations of the trailer lighting socket causing the trailer lights to not function properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Challenger, Axis, Chateau, Four Winds, Hurricane, Miramar, Palazzo, Tuscany, Vegas, Venetian, and Windsport motorhomes.
