Thor Motor Coach recalls motorhomes with braking issue

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling 566 model year 2020 Daybreak, Four Winds, Delano, Gemini, Quantum, Tiburon, Chateau Citation, Compass, Chateau, Siesta, Freedom Elite, and Synergy motorhomes built on Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis [platform 907 (VS30)].

The rear part of the fender liner on the front axle may contact and chafe the brake hose, possibly resulting in a loss of brake fluid.

A brake fluid leak may extend the braking distance, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

TMC will notify owners, and an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will inspect the brake hoses for chafing and replacement if necessary.

The fender liner will also be altered to permit more clearance.

All repairs will be performed free of charge.

This recall is expected to begin July 27, 2020.

Owners may contact TMC customer service at (877) 855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000191.
