Summary

Thor Motor Coach "TMC" is recalling certain 2020-2021 Sequence and Tellaro motorhomes. The dinette booth seat belts may be too short preventing them from being usable by some occupants. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."

Consequence

Inability to use the seat belt may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy

TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 18-inch seat belt tether with a 24-inch tether on both sides of the dinette booth, free of charge. This recall began September 16, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000198.
