Thor Motor Coach: Rize and Scope Camper Vans Recalled for Unintentional Awning Extension

Agency Publication Date: February 10, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling approximately 1,557 of its 2021-2023 Rize and Scope camper vans because the retractable awning can unexpectedly extend while the vehicle is in motion. This defect occurs because the awning system may lack a necessary ignition cutoff, allowing it to operate when it should be disabled for travel. Owners can have a new ignition cutoff wire harness installed at the BT12 module by a dealer free of charge to resolve the issue.

Risk

If the awning extends unintentionally while the van is being driven, it creates an immediate road hazard for other drivers and can distract the operator, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking if you own a 2021-2023 Thor Motor Coach Rize or Scope camper van.
  2. Contact Thor Motor Coach (TMC) customer service at 1-877-855-2867 to confirm if your specific VIN is included in recall number RC000289.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Thor Motor Coach dealer to have an additional ignition cutoff wire harness installed at the BT12 module at no cost to you.
  4. For additional information or to report safety concerns, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
