Thor Motor Coach: Exterior Lighting
Thor Motor Coach reported this defect to federal regulators on Dec 2, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 32. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain model year 2017 Quantum RQ29 motorhomes manufactured June 27, 2016, to September 29, 2016. The affected vehicles may be missing a mid-ship marker light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Systems (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
If the mid-ship marker light is missing, other drivers can mistake the length of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install a mid-ship marker light if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on January 25, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000124.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 16V869000.
