What's wrong?
The front overhead cabinet in 2018-2021 Thor Motor Coach Hurricane and Windsport motorhomes sits above the driver and front passenger seats. It stores items and forms part of the interior structure around the front bunk area, so it has to stay secured while the motorhome moves, turns, and vibrates on the road.
On affected motorhomes, the cabinet was not properly installed during production. The attachment points can loosen over time as the coach travels. Once the cabinet is loose, normal road vibration can keep working against the fasteners and supports until the cabinet detaches from its mounting area.
Owners can notice the cabinet attachment feeling loose before it separates. A squeak from the overhead cabinet during travel is the warning sign Thor Motor Coach identified. If you hear that noise or see movement above the front seats, treat it as a sign that the cabinet needs inspection.
Who's affected?
Spans the Hurricane and Windsport across the 2018-2021 model years, with the front overhead bunk assembly listed under both RV equipment and structure components.
