PhotoThor Motor Coach is recalling 5,633 model year 2012-2017 Ace, 2013 Citation, 2012-2013 Siesta and 2017 Four Winds and Road Bear Rental motorhomes.

 

The vehicles are equipped with shower curtains that may not adequately resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."

 

A flammable shower curtain may further fuel a fire, increasing the risk of injury.

 

What to do

 

Thor will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shower curtains with curtains made with fire retardant, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 15, 2016.

 

Owners may contact Thor customer service at 1-877-500-1020. Thor's number for this recall is RC000121.
