NHTSA recall 20V458000
Seat Belts, Seats · Thor Motor Coach
Details
What's wrong: Bolts of the wrong size were used to secure the barrel chair pedestals, allowing the pedestal to separate from the floor in the event of a crash. As such, these motorhomes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 207, "seating systems" and number 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Why it matters: If the pedestal were to separate from the floor during a crash, the seat belt anchorages may fail, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Tmc will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the pedestal bolt size, correcting the hardware as necessary, free of charge. This recall began September 14, 2020.
