Thor Motor Coach Recalls 2016 Hurricane and Windsport Motorhomes for Seat Defect

Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2016 Hurricane and Windsport motorhomes because the co-pilot seat mounting area may not be properly reinforced, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (improperly reinforced seat mounting) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain model year 2016 Hurricane and Windsport motorhomes manufactured between March 10, 2015, and March 24, 2015. The recall involves 56 vehicles. In these motorhomes, the co-pilot seats may be attached to the floor in an area that is not properly reinforced.

If the floor at the attachment point is not properly reinforced, the seat base mounting may loosen over time. This condition increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and dealers will install a reinforcement plate at the co-pilot seat mounting bolt location free of charge. The recall began on June 22, 2015. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
