What's wrong?
The LP tank on the 2024 Thor Motor Coach Palladium and Talavera stores liquid propane for onboard appliances. A heat shield sits between that tank and hot chassis exhaust parts. Its job is simple: keep exhaust heat away from the propane tank while the motorhome is running.
On affected motorhomes, the LP tank sits too close to the chassis exhaust, and the installed heat shield is the incorrect size. Because the shield does not cover the tank area well enough, exhaust heat reaches the tank instead of being blocked. The problem is not the propane tank itself. It is the tank's placement and the undersized shield between the tank and the exhaust.
There is no warning sign before failure. Thor Motor Coach found the issue through an engineering production code audit, not from warranty claims, field reports, or injury reports.
Who's affected?
Both Palladium and Talavera scopes involve the same LP tank heatshield and tank assembly.

What's the safety risk?
An LP tank that overheats raises the risk of a fire. Treat this as a fire-risk repair and schedule the heatshield retrofit soon. Repair is free at any franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Thor Motor Coach Palladium or Talavera is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer to schedule the free retrofit heatshield installation that keeps the LP tank farther from chassis exhaust heat.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 24V666 when you call.
- Ask the dealer whether the motorhome is safe to drive before the appointment, and keep the repair appointment focused on the LP tank heatshield.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Thor Motor Coach technician installs a retrofit heatshield between the LP tank and the chassis exhaust so the tank is protected from exhaust heat. The heatshield and labor are free under the recall. If you've already paid out of pocket for this repair, Thor Motor Coach's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Ask Thor Motor Coach customer service how to submit repair paperwork for reimbursement.
