Service brakes, hydraulic

What is wrong: Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 allegro and allegro bay recreational vehicles equipped with bosch hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.
Risk: Reduced brake performance may lead to an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Tiffin will notify the owners, and authorized daimler trucks north america (dtna) dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners by dtna on august 6, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1‑800‑547‑0712.
