What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2017 Allegro Breeze motorhomes. The ball joints on the independent front suspension (IFS) modules can loosen and separate, leading to a partial loss of steering.

The risk

A separated ball joint can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, clean and secure the ball joint free of charge. The recall began on April 24, 2017. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-108.

Notes

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
