Problem Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Hurricane and Windsport motor homes manufactured January 30, 2013, to March 6, 2015. In the affected motor homes, the vehicle exhaust is located near a storage compartment where heat may build-up, causing the compartment to melt. Risk Heat build-up in the vehicle storage compartment increases the risk of fire. Fix TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install a heat shield to prevent heat build-up in the storage compartment. The recall began on April 20, 2016. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000112.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. RC000112 is the number Thor Motor Coach assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V139000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
