What happened

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2016 model year motorhomes, including the Four Winds, Citation, Outlaw, Chateau, Siesta, and Freedom Elite models manufactured between February 14, 2015, and April 6, 2015. These vehicles have an Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC) label that is missing information about the weight of water the motorhome can carry. If owners load the vehicle to its stated weight capacity without accounting for the water weight, the motorhome may become overloaded, which can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners and provide a corrected OCCC label at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020 to arrange for the replacement label. The recall began on May 1, 2015, and TMC's reference number for this recall is RC000099.
