Thor Motor Coach Recalls Outlaw RVs Due to Seat Belt Bracket Defect

Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2018-2019 Outlaw model 29J recreational vehicles because the sofa seat belt bracket may not meet strength requirements, increasing injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat belt anchorage) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2018-2019 Outlaw recreational vehicles, specifically model 29J. The recall involves 65 vehicles where the sofa seat belt bracket may not meet federal strength requirements. This defect means the bracket may not adequately restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, causing the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

If the bracket does not meet the required strength, the anchorage may fail during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to the occupant. No specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

The recall began on April 4, 2018. Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and dealers will install a new bracket free of charge. Owners can contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. TMC's recall number is RC000151.
