- Summary
- 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.
- Consequence

- 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.

Has your TMC been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A TMC dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
