What's wrong?
The dinette booth seat belt in a 2020-2021 Thor Motor Coach Tellaro or Sequence motorhome is the restraint for a passenger seated at the dinette while the vehicle is moving. It is supposed to pull across the occupant, latch into the buckle, and hold that seated passenger in position during a crash or sudden stop.
On affected motorhomes, Thor Motor Coach says the wrong length seat belt was installed at the dinette booth. The belt ordered for production was longer than the belt installed, so the belt does not give every intended occupant enough webbing to buckle properly. The remedy part adds the specified 24 inch tether so the belt reaches and latches as designed.
What you notice is direct: the belt will not fasten around some larger occupants seated at the dinette booth. If the belt cannot buckle, that seating position is not properly restrained.
Who's affected?
Covers Tellaro and Sequence motorhomes from the 2020 and 2021 model years, with the same dinette booth seat belt listed across both models.

What's the safety risk?
A dinette booth seat belt that cannot be fastened leaves that passenger without proper restraint and increases injury risk in a crash. If the belt will not buckle or fit correctly for a dinette passenger, leave that seat unused and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer.
