What's wrong?
The roof solar panel on 2021-2024 Thor Motor Coach Scope and Rize motorhomes is mounted to the vehicle with brackets and bolts. The panel is supposed to stay fixed while the motorhome moves, while also adding electrical charging for onboard accessories. The mounting frame has to absorb normal road vibration without cracking.
On affected motorhomes, the original bracket sat higher and allowed more vibration to reach the solar panel frame. That repeated movement can fatigue the metal frame around the mounting bolts. Once the frame fractures at those mounting points, the panel is no longer held securely and can detach from the motorhome.
Owners can see the warning sign before the panel comes loose. Look for visible cracks or fractures around the solar panel mounts, especially near the bolts and frame edges.
