Defect description

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2017 ACE and Road Bear Rental motorhomes manufactured February 11, 2016, to March 9, 2016. The seat belt anchorages located in the slide out section may not meet the specified strength requirements, allowing them to pull loose during a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

Safety risk

If the seat belt anchorages pull loose in a crash, they will not properly restrain the occupant, increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install reinforcement brackets, and plates, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2016. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
