Thor Motor Coach Motorhomes Tire Valve Stem Defect Recall

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2018-2021 motorhomes because the tire valve stem extension may contact the rim and become damaged, potentially causing tire pressure loss and crash risk.

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: This is a structural vehicle defect affecting a critical component (tire valve stem), but no crashes, injuries, or deaths have been reported. The hazard presents a risk of crash rather than confirmed harm, fitting the High category for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2018-2021 Aria, Palazzo, Tuscany, and Venetian motorhomes built on a Daimler Trucks chassis. The tire valve stem extension for the inner wheel may contact the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged.

If the valve stem extension becomes extensively damaged, the inner wheel may lose tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash. No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Thor Motor Coach and DTNA dealers will notify owners and inspect the valve stem stabilizers, adjusting or replacing them as needed at no charge. Owners can contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-800-524-5210 extension 104 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. The recall began on November 2, 2020.
