2015 THOR MOTOR COACH TUSCANY
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2015 Tuscany motorhomes built on Freightliner chassis that have a heavier, adjustable, straight foot pedal. In these vehicles, the brake activation signal to towed devices may remain active even after the motorhome's service brakes are released. This can cause the towed device's brakes to drag and potentially overheat, which could result in a fire. Additionally, drivers following the motorhome may become confused by its unusual braking behavior, increasing the risk of a crash.
To address this issue, Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is modifying the affected pedal assemblies at no cost to owners. Affected consumers should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-8712 or Thor customer service at 1-877-500-1020, referencing Thor's recall number FL723AB, to schedule their free repair at a Freightliner dealer.

If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
