What happened

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020-2021 Daybreak 23DB, 2018-2021 Four Winds 23U, and 2018-2021 Chateau 23U motorhomes because bolts of the wrong size were used to secure the barrel chair pedestals. If the pedestal were to separate from the floor during a crash, the seat belt anchorages may fail, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the pedestal bolt size and correct the hardware as necessary at no charge. Affected consumers should contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867 with recall number RC000202 to arrange an inspection.
