What's wrong?
The electrical junction box in these 2019-2020 Thor Motor Coach Magnitude and Omni motorhomes is the compartment where the generator wiring connection is made. Its job is to hold those electrical connections in a fixed, protected space so wires stay separated from hardware that is not part of the circuit.
On affected motorhomes, an extra screw was installed through the junction box during production to secure the box to the compartment wall. That screw does not belong inside the box. If wiring shifts during use, a wire can contact the screw instead of staying clear inside the junction box. The remedy uses a junction box without that extra screw.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear, smell, or feel a clear symptom from the driver's seat before the wiring contact occurs.
