What's wrong?
The LP generator hose on affected 2025-2026 Thor Motor Coach recreational vehicles carries propane fuel to the onboard generator. A P-clamp is a small retaining clamp that holds that hose in position so it stays clear of nearby hot parts, including the generator exhaust.
On these Chateau, Eddie Bauer, Freedom Elite, Coleman, Pasadena, Four Winds, Quantum, and Geneva models, production did not secure the LP fuel hose with that P-clamp. Without the clamp, the hose can flex toward the generator exhaust. When the generator runs, the exhaust gets hot, and contact with the hose creates the fuel-line concern behind this recall.
The warning sign is visible during inspection. Look for the LP hose routed too close to the generator exhaust or touching it.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Thor Motor Coach Chateau, Eddie Bauer, Freedom Elite, Coleman, Pasadena, Four Winds, Quantum, or Geneva recreational vehicle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Thor Motor Coach dealer to schedule the free P-clamp installation that secures the LP generator hose away from the exhaust.
- Bring the owner letter if Thor Motor Coach mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V709 when you call.
- Ask the dealer whether the RV is safe to drive or run before the repair, especially if you need to use the generator.
- Avoid running the generator until the P-clamp is installed if the LP hose position has not been inspected.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Thor Motor Coach technician installs a heat sleeve and P-clamp on the LP generator hose so the hose stays secured away from the exhaust. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you've already paid out of pocket for this LP hose repair before the recall work, Thor Motor Coach's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair invoices, payment records, and any related service paperwork when you contact Thor Motor Coach or the service desk.
