Problem Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2017 Quantum RQ29 motorhomes manufactured June 27, 2016, to September 29, 2016. The affected vehicles may be missing a mid-ship marker light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Systems (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment." Risk If the mid-ship marker light is missing, other drivers can mistake the length of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install a mid-ship marker light if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on January 25, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000124.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. RC000124 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. 16V869000 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.
