Problem Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Tellaro 20AT and Sequence 20A motorhomes. The dinette/booth seat belt reinforcing brackets may be missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages." Risk In the event of a crash, without the seat belt reinforcing brackets, the seat belt anchorages could fail, increasing the risk of injury to those seat occupants. Fix TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing brackets, free of charge. The recall began May 19, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000187.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. RC000187 is the number Thor assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V169000 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.
