What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Cahaba motorhomes. The spare tire carrier and molle rack may be incorrectly installed on the rear van doors, which can cause them to detach while the vehicle is in transit.

The risk

A detached spare tire carrier and molle rack can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the hardware kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 21, 2023. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-129.

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.nhtsa.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.
