Thor Motor Coach Recalls 2016 Motorhomes for Missing Weight Label

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain model year 2016 Four Winds, Citation, Outlaw, Chateau, Siesta, and Freedom Elite motorhomes. These vehicles were manufactured between February 14, 2015, and April 6, 2015. The recall affects 168 units.

The affected vehicles may be missing the water weight carrying capability information on the Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC) label. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120. If the vehicle is loaded to its weight capacity without including the weight of the water carried onboard, the motorhome may be overloaded. This can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners and provide a new OCCC label with the correct information free of charge. The recall began on May 1, 2015. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000099. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov.
