Thor Motor Coach Sequence Motorhomes Dinette Seat Belt Tethers Too Short

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020-2021 Sequence and Tellaro motorhomes because the dinette booth seat belt tethers are too short, preventing safe use by some occupants and increasing crash injury risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a confirmed structural defect in a critical safety component (dinette seat belt assembly) that fails to meet federal standards (FMVSS 208 and 209). No injuries or illnesses have been reported, so per the rubric, the score does not exceed 3 for a risk-of-harm product without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020 and 2021 Sequence and Tellaro motorhomes. The dinette booth seat belt tethers may be too short, preventing some occupants from using the seat belts.

The vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208 (Occupant Crash Protection) and 209 (Seat Belt Assemblies). Inability to use the seat belt may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Thor Motor Coach will replace the 18-inch tether with a 24-inch tether on both sides of the dinette booth at no cost. The recall began September 16, 2020. Owners should contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall number RC000198).
