The slide-Out room can be deployed without the parking brake engaged, allowing the room to extend while the vehicle is in motion.

Risk: A slide-Out room that extends unexpectedly increases the risk of a crash.

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2022 Scope, Tellaro, Sanctuary, Delano, Sequence, Tranquility, Rize, Synergy, Quantum, Magnitude, Geneva, Compass, Chateau, Four Winds, and 2022-2023 Tiburon, and Gemini vehicles. The quick disconnect fittings in the LP gas system may be cracked, causing a gas leak.

Risk: A gas leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Four Winds, Quantum, Chateau, and 2022 Geneva motorhomes. The electric retractable awning has a welded seam on the fabric that may separate, potentially allowing the awning to drop beyond normal operation.

Risk: An awning that drops or extends beyond normal operation can increase the risk of injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2021 Daybreak, Four Winds, Quantum, Chateau, and Freedom Elite motorhomes built on the 2020 Ford E-Series chassis. The battery cable may not have been properly secured within the chassis rail, which can cause it to contact the exhaust manifold and heat shield.

Risk: Battery cable contact with the exhaust manifold and heat shield can increase the risk of a fire.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Daybreak, Four Winds, Delano, Gemini, Quantum, Tiburon, Chateau Citation, Compass, Chateau, Siesta, Freedom Elite, and Synergy motorhomes built on Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis [platform 907 (VS30)]. The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid.

Risk: If the brake fluid leaks, this may extend the braking distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Daybreak, Four Winds, Delano, Gemini, Quantum, Tiburon, Chateau Citation, Compass, Chateau, Siesta, Freedom Elite, and Synergy motorhomes built on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis [platform 907 (VS30)] equipped with automatic transmissions. The owner's manual does not correctly specify the certain conditions under which the automatic parking function (Auto-P) operates.

Risk: If a customer were to rely on the Auto-P function as described in the Operator's Manual, the possibility of a vehicle rollaway or unintended vehicle movement cannot be ruled out which could increase the risk of a crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

Thor Motor Coach (Thor) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Daybreak, Four Winds, Quantum, Delano, Tiburon, Chateau and Freedom Elite motorhomes and 2020 Gemini, Chateau Citation, Compass, Siesta, and Synergy motorhomes built on Sprinter Van chassis (platform 970 (VS30), equipped with swivel seats. The wiring harnesses for the front seats may have been routed incorrectly and could become jammed and damaged in the swivel seat frames.

Risk: If the wiring harness is damaged, the side air bag within the seat may deploy inadvertently or not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Chateau 31W and 31WV, Quantum KW29 and LF31, Vegas 24.1 and Axis 24.1 motorhomes and 2020-2021 Four Winds 24F, 28Z, and 31E motorhomes built on a Ford chassis. The rear axle differential may have an insufficient amount of fluid, possibly resulting in a failure of the rear axle assembly and a driveshaft separation.

Risk: If the driveshaft separates, there may be a loss of drive, increasing the risk of crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied, unintended vehicle movement can occur if the transmission is left in Park, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Daybreak, Four Winds, Chateau, Freedom Elite, Quantum motorhomes built on a Chevrolet chassis. The BIM (Battery Isolation Manager)/BIR (Battery Isolation Relay) is not watertight when exposed to engine compartment heat.

Risk: Water may get into the BIM/BIR and create electrical arcing, increasing the risk of a fire.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Drove from Gibson Louisiana to Abita Springs Ocean Canyon RV park. Upon arrival we had a buzzer alert going off under dash, we then parked to RV. Tried to put jacks down, did not respond, tried 12v lights did not work, tried slides, again no response. We then plugged in and were able to get jacks and slides out, some lights worked. Still alarm under dash, checked 12 coach battery, almost dead. Called a mobile RV tech, 2 1/2 hours later, he found a ground bolt had come off with 3 grounding wires on it. Tech advised that bolt was only tacked on one side, my Warranty company said a original technician fault and not covered. Talked to Thor later, they advised that is how it is attached, advised warranty company and they still denied. Told Thor that was very poor workmanship for a company trying to improve their standing. This cost me $358.05 out of pocket and time from Rving.
