The problem
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Thor Aria motorhomes and 2017-2019 Thor Venetian motorhomes. The brake caliper mounting bolts on these vehicles may be insufficiently tightened, allowing the bolts to loosen.
The risk
If the brake caliper mounting bolts loosen, braking performance may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
TMC will notify owners, and authorized Daimler Trucks service centers will inspect the caliper mounting bolts and tighten them to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began September 4, 2018. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000159.
