What's wrong?
The heat shield on the 2024-2025 Thor Motor Coach Indigo and Luminate is a formed steel barrier near the propane tank. Its job is simple: keep heat from the engine exhaust away from the LP tank while the motorhome is running. The propane tank stores fuel for onboard systems, so it needs separation from high exhaust temperatures.
On affected motorhomes, the heat shield was designed too short. Thor Motor Coach found the shield is 1.5 inches short, leaving the LP tank within 18 inches of the exhaust. That gap leaves part of the tank without the intended heat protection, which can cause the propane tank to overheat.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is the shield's shape and placement, so the defect is found by inspection rather than by a sound, smell, or dashboard alert.
Who's affected?
Covers both Indigo and Luminate motorhomes across the 2024 and 2025 model years, with the same LPG-system heat shield.

An overheated propane tank increases the risk of a fire. If your VIN is included, limit propane system use until the heat shield is installed and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer.

- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 24V426 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary driving until the heat shield is installed, because engine-exhaust heat can overheat the propane tank.
