What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 assembly) that may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2019-2020 Magnitude and Omni motorhomes. The recall addresses a defect in the front seat assembly recliner mechanisms, which may be missing a third pawl required for seat back strength. This issue results in a loose seat back and causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) numbers 202 and 207.

The improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Ford has notified TMC owners, and Ford dealers will inspect the seat structures and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on October 21, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000178.
