Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Thor motor coach. On certain motorhomes, the Battery Control Center (BCC) could fail while the vehicle is underway. This would cause the engine to stall and all electrical components to become inoperative. Engine stalling would result in a loss of vehicle propulsion. Failure of the lighting system may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver intentions. It could also compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness. In conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, these issues could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will correct the BCC electrical connection to the chassis. Published 2013-08-21.
