2010–2012 Thor Motor Coach Chateau & 2010–2012 Thor Motor Coach Four Winds + 4 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Thor motor coach (tmc) is recalling certain recreational vehicles manufactured from march 9, 2010, through march 9, 2011. The wiring for the oxygen (O2) sensor that connects to the catalytic converter may not be properly secured. When not secured, wiring CAN fall onto the exhaust, melt, and short out causing a check engine light (cel) and, in some cases, the engine to shut down while driving.
💥 The risk
An engine shut down while driving increases the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will secure the oxygen sensor by installing a clamp and by adding an additional fastener free of charge. The safety recall began on march 31, 2011. Owners may contact tmc warranty service department at 1-877-500-1020.
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.)
