What NHTSA recorded

Tmc is recalling certain model year 2011 four winds 5000 and chateau sport vehicles manufactured from october 26, 2010 through november 11, 2010. These vehicles do not have the required heat shield located in the proper place next to the lp gas tank. Without the heat shield in place, heat is not properly dissipated around the exhaust of the vehicle. This potentially could result in a fire.

Possible consequence

In the event of a fire, there is a potential for property damage, personal injury or death.

Remedy

Dealers will relocate the heat shield to the proper location on the chassis to protect the lp tank. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on january 3, 2011. Owners may contact thor motor coach at 877-500-1020.
