What's wrong?
The mid-ship marker lights on a 2018-2019 Thor Motor Coach Quantum motorhome are small exterior lamps mounted along the side of the body. Their job is to make the length of the motorhome easier for other drivers to see in low light, especially because the Quantum RW28 is 30 feet, 2 inches long and falls under FMVSS 108 lighting requirements.
On affected Quantum RW28 motorhomes, those side marker lights were missed during production. The issue is not a bad bulb or wiring fault. The required lamps were not installed, so the motorhome does not have the full side lighting equipment it was built to carry.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can see the problem only by checking whether the mid-ship marker lights are present on the sides of the motorhome.
Who's affected?

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
Missing mid-ship marker lights make the motorhome harder for other drivers to judge because they cannot see its full length. That can increase the risk of a crash. Schedule the inspection soon, and use extra care around traffic until the lights are checked. Repair is free at any franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Thor Motor Coach Quantum is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer to schedule the free inspection and mid-ship marker-light installation that helps other drivers judge the motorhome's length.
- Bring the recall notice if Thor Motor Coach mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V215 and Thor Motor Coach recall RC000167 when you call.
- Use extra care around traffic until the repair is complete, especially when changing lanes or turning.
