Thor Motor Coach Recalls 2017 Quantum Motorhomes Due to Fire Risk

Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2017 Quantum KM24 motorhomes because an incorrectly attached power wire may prevent a circuit breaker from tripping, increasing fire risk.

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 (electrical system) that explicitly increases the risk of a fire, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2017 Quantum KM24 motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system where the power supply wire for the steps was incorrectly attached to a 50 amp circuit breaker instead of the required 20 amp circuit breaker.

If the step circuit becomes overloaded, the circuit breaker may not trip as intended. This malfunction increases the risk of a fire. The recall began on June 2, 2017.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the power wire for the steps to the correct breaker free of charge. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
