Thor Motor Coach Recalls 2017 Palazzo Motorhomes for Incorrect Tire Labeling

Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2017 Palazzo 36.1 and 36.3 motorhomes because the federal certification label lists an incorrect front tire rim size, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions if the rim is replaced based on that error.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Moderate because it involves a labeling error that creates a risk of unsafe driving conditions only if the owner acts on the incorrect information to replace a part, rather than an immediate structural defect or reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017 Palazzo 36.1 and 36.3 motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the federal certification label, which indicates an incorrect front tire rim size. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the certification requirements of 49 CFR Part 567.

The incorrect label presents a safety risk if a vehicle owner replaces the front rim based on the erroneous information provided on the label. Doing so can cause an unsafe driving condition, which increases the risk of a crash.

TMC will notify owners and provide corrected replacement labels free of charge. The recall began on June 2, 2017.
