The problem
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Tellaro 20AT and 20LT, and 2020 Sequence 20A, 20K, and 20L motorhomes. The transmission shifter cable may separate and disconnect from the transmission, causing the vehicle to not perform shifts intended by the driver and the gear shift lever position not matching the actual transmission gear.
The risk
The driver may be unaware of the actual gear position and unintended vehicle movement can occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission shift cable, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2020. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-855-2867. TMC's number for this recall is RC000185.
