Thor Motor Coach: Seat Belts
Thor Motor Coach reported this defect to federal regulators on Mar 20, 2020 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 25. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020 Tellaro 20AT and Sequence 20A motorhomes. The dinette/booth seat belt reinforcing brackets may be missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
The risk
In the event of a crash, without the seat belt reinforcing brackets, the seat belt anchorages could fail, increasing the risk of injury to those seat occupants.
The remedy
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will install the missing brackets, free of charge. The recall began May 19, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000187.

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 20V169000.
