Thor motorhome roof brackets missing washers can drop solar panels

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2023 Gemini and Compass motorhomes because washers were not installed with the roof mounting brackets, so the solar panel can detach.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: omitted fasteners in the roof mounting can let a solar panel detach from a moving vehicle, creating a road hazard for other traffic.
