Defect
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Tuscany motor homes manufactured July 28, 2014, to July 27, 2015. The affected vehicles are built on a Freightliner Custom Chassis and have steering boxes that were manufactured using incorrect internal spacers, resulting in premature wear in the connection between the steering wheel and the front axle.
Safety risk
The steering wheel's connection to the front axle could fail resulting in a sudden loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
TMC will notify owners, and Freightliner Custom Chassis dealers will inspect and replace the steering box if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 10, 2016. Note: Owners are urged not to drive their vehicles until they have been inspected. Owners may contact Freightliner Custom Chassis customer service at 1-800-547-0712 or TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000115.
