2011 THOR MOTOR COACH AVANTI; 2008 THOR MOTOR COACH OUTLAW; 2009 THOR MOTOR COACH OUTLAW; 2010 THOR MOTOR COACH OUTLAW
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2008-2010 Outlaw and 2011 Avanti recreational vehicles manufactured between January 24, 2008, and September 28, 2010, that are equipped with Bosch hydraulic disc brakes. The vehicles may experience reduced brake performance if they sit unused for extended periods, as the brake caliper pistons can swell and reduce clearance in the brake bore, causing brake drag and overheating that compromises stopping ability and increases crash risk.
Freightliner Custom Chassis will notify vehicle owners, and authorized dealers will repair the vehicles at no charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on August 6, 2012. Owners should contact Thor Motor Coach at 1-877-500-1020.
