The problem
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2010-2011 Four Winds Montecito 38D, 38E, 40J, 42B, 42C motorhomes, equipped with an Iota ITS-50R transfer switch. The transfer switch may experience a heat related failure due to being exposed to high electrical loads when used in higher ambient temperatures.
The risk
If the transfer switch continues to be used, it can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
TMC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Iota ITS-50R transfer switch with a different brand of switch, free of charge. The recall began December 29, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000205.
