What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2017 Tiffin Allegro, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report.

What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Exterior lighting
Reports naming headlights, tail lights, turn signals and other exterior lighting.
From owner reports, verbatim
All rear and side marker lights stop functioning without notice. The FCCC Motorhome Chassis rear PDMs is at fault, again (reference NHTSA #20V-404 with at least 2 notices). FCCC provided a work around for PDMs that took care of potential loss of brake and turn signal lights that stop functioning. Unfortunately the marker lights potential issues has not been addressed. Marker lights that do not function correctly increase the risk of a crash after sunset (at nights).
/Users/karl/Desktop/Tiffin Dash Lights.df.pdf 12 Aug 2020 Ref VIN[XXX], Tiffin Motorhome 2017 Allegro 31 SA F225 Ford 228WB/22000GVWR 22.5TIRES or is it a F550? I see both F numbers in my documents. Subject: Instrument panel lights When driving this vehicle in good weather, sun or partly cloud day, I cannot see anything in the Instrument Cluster. This is quite difficult, dangerous, primarily as I cannot tell my speed much less the other instrument readings. I have the parking lights turned on and the Dimmer switch in the full upright position for maximum illumination. What can be done to correct this issue? [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
