Thor / Thor Motor Coach recall: Suspension
What is wrong
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Tuscany XTE, Palazzo, and 2016-2017 Venetian motorhomes manufactured September 9, 2015, to January 12, 2016. The front sway bar mounting brackets may not fit properly on the axle causing the mounting bolts to bend or loosen.
What could happen
If the sway bar bolts loosen, the sway bar may detach from the axle, affecting the handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
TMC will notify owners, and Detroit Axle service centers, subsidiaries of Daimler Trucks, the manufacturer of the chassis, will modify the sway bar mounting, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Thor Motor Coach Customer service department at 1-877-500-1020, or Daimler Trucks North America LLC at 1-800-547-0712, or e-mail them at [email protected] to locate a service center.
