Details

What's wrong: The affected vehicles are equipped with shower curtains that may not adequately resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 302, "flammability of interior materials."

Why it matters: A flammable shower curtain may further fuel a fire, increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Thor will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shower curtains with curtains made with fire retardant, free of charge. The recall began on September 15, 2016.
