Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. "Tiffin" is recalling certain 2013-2018 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. Insufficient strength of the frame rail may allow the tow hitch to detach from the motorhome.
If the hitch detaches, the tow vehicle would not be connected to the motorhome, increasing the risk of a crash.
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install an insert plate to strengthen the frame rail, free of charge. Tiffin issued owners an interim notification on May 31, 2018. The recall began on July 24, 2018. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-109. Note: Some vehicles already remedied as part of recall 17V200 will need the additional repairs covered by this recall.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
