The short version

Thor Motor Coach reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

WHY IT MATTERS

If motor damage occurs, it is possible that the awning can unfurl unexpectedly, either while the motorhome is at rest or while in transit, increasing the risk of personal injury or a vehicle crash.

WHAT TO DO

Thor Motor Coach will notify owners and Dometic staff will replace the affected motors with a design that is not subject to an out-of-sequence installation error, free of charge.
