Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA 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.

Latest Sep 11, 2024
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Recent owner complaints

Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words

Filed Dec 5, 2024

The recall listed under Tiffin-142, involves the sub-frame truss collapse that could cause a fire. The NHTSA RECALL # 24V-669. Tiffin has failed to instruct or direct a direct link to an engineer for advise. Tiffin made arrangements with Rush Truck Leasing Company, Phoenix Arizona, to make the repairs, and it now sits for three days with no specific direction to repair. All of this should have been addressed prior to the notice!!

Incident

Body & structure
Filed Jan 31, 2024

Shortly following delivery of the motorhome, there appeared a catastrophic crack in the fiberglass on the leading side of the overhead bunk (driver's side). Left unresolved, the primary safety concern is that the crack will expand and, while traveling (especially at higher speed), the top portion of the overhead bunk will separate from the motorhome - putting motorists traveling behind, and anyone then in the overhead bunk, at risk. The motorhome has been inspected by an independent I-CAR Gold Class repair professional and remains available for inspection upon request.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

MCD-009

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Stopped using the lights we had been using due to expense. Replaced with these, but these new lights have to be wired in instead of just clicking in. These are the instructions to wire in.

SB-75

It has come to our attention that on certain Tiffin motorhomes equipped with optional Go Power! solar panel solar panels systems, the 30A inline fuse located before the cable entry plate should be removed. The plastic housing surrounding the fuse may become heat damaged from heat generated by the normal operation of the 30A fuse, which would cause the solar panel system to not operate as designed. Due to updated recommendations from Go Power!, Tiffin Motorhomes is removing this 30A fuse from the solar panel system.

SB-71

STRUCTURE:BODY

It has come to Tiffin Motorhome's attention that on certain 2022-2024 Allegro Bay motorhomes, the front cap may loosen from the cab of the motorhome. Tiffin will verify attachment of the front cap to the chassis cab and update the sealant.

SB-64

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING

On certain 2022 and 2023 Allegro Bay Motorhomes, the backup camera is displaying when the brake pedal is used. To correct this, a new wire harness will be installed at the same time a programming update is competed so that the backup camera and rear signal lights will function as designed.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
