Recall 20V-312: 2020 Thor Motor Coach Chateau, 2020 Thor Motor Coach Chateau Citation and 10 more
Thor Motor Coach recall for structure, reported to NHTSA on May 28, 2020, covering about 566 vehicles.
The problem
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Daybreak, Four Winds, Delano, Gemini, Quantum, Tiburon, Chateau Citation, Compass, Chateau, Siesta, Freedom Elite, and Synergy motorhomes built on Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis [platform 907 (VS30)]. The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid.
The risk
If the brake fluid leaks, this may extend the braking distance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
TMC will notify owners, and an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect the brake hoses for chafing and replacement if necessary. The fender liner will also be altered to permit more clearance. All repairs will be performed free of charge. This recall began June 25, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000191.
