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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the generator exhaust is improperly routed near a propane tank, creating a significant risk of fire and carbon monoxide exposure.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Outlaw 29H motorcoaches manufactured between January 13, 2014, and April 25, 2014. The recall involves 34 vehicles.

In the affected vehicles, the generator exhaust is routed too close to the onboard propane storage tank without the necessary heat shielding. Additionally, the generator exhaust ends underneath a slide-out room. This configuration allows the hot exhaust piping to heat the propane tank, potentially causing it to expand and vent pressure, which increases the risk of a fire. Furthermore, the exhaust exiting below the slide-out room may allow carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle, increasing the risk of asphyxiation.

Thor will notify owners, and dealers will replace the existing generator exhaust pipe with a new pipe that has a different routing, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2014. Owners may contact Thor customer service at 1-877-500-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
