2011 Tmc Chateau Sport & 2011 Tmc Four Winds 5000 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Tmc is recalling certain model year 2011 Four Winds 5000 and Chateau Sport vehicles manufactured from october 26, 2010 through november 11, 2010. These vehicles do not have the required heat shield located in the proper place next to the lp gas tank. Without the heat shield in place, heat is not properly dissipated around the exhaust of the vehicle. This potentially could result in a fire.
💥 The risk
In the event of a fire, there is a potential for property damage, personal injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will relocate the heat shield to the proper location on the chassis to protect the lp tank. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 3, 2011. Owners may contact thor motor coach at 877-500-1020.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
