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.
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.
