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 (damaged PDM) that results in non-functioning lights, which the source states can increase the risk of a crash. No injuries or deaths are reported, placing this in the High severity category for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2017-2020 Aria, Venetian, and Tuscany, 2017 Tuscany XTE, and 2017-2019 Palazzo motorhomes. This recall affects vehicles that previously received an inspection-only remedy for recall 18V-763. The rear-mounted Power Distribution Module (PDM) may have been damaged during manufacturing, which can result in the rear marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals not functioning.

Non-functioning exterior marker lights can increase the risk of a crash. Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and Daimler Trucks dealers will replace the PDM free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on October 6, 2021.
