Thor Motor Coach Recalls 2013-2014 RVs Due to Microwave Fire Risk
Thor Motor Coach is recalling specific 2013-2014 recreational vehicles because the built-in microwave may start on its own, posing a fire hazard if unattended.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states that a fire could result if the microwave starts on its own with contents inside. Per the rubric, significant injury/property-damage reports or risks (fire) in vehicles warrant a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Challenger and Tuscany recreational vehicles, as well as 2014 Tuscany XTE and Palazzo models. The affected vehicles were manufactured between March 8, 2013, and August 8, 2013, and are equipped with specific Frigidaire KG-series microwave models (CFMV152CLB and CFMV154CLS) manufactured between January 27, 2013, and April 10, 2013.
The recall is issued because the microwave may start on its own and begin heating when unattended. If the microwave starts on its own and there are contents inside, a fire could result.
Thor will notify owners, and dealers will repair the membrane/keypad component free of charge. The recall began on May 12, 2014. Until the microwave is repaired, owners should not store anything in the microwave while it is unattended. Owners may contact Thor Motor Coach at 1-877-500-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
