We purchased an allegro bus with spartan chassis and factory installed putnam hitch. We were hauling our horse trailer home from a horse show in oklahoma when we happened to stop at a truck stop in st. Louis. The trailer was within weight requirements for the trailer as well as tongue weight. Upon stopping, we noticed that the putnam hitch was detaching from the chassis due to the fracturing of the metal in the undercarriage of the motor home. Had we traveled much further, we would have certainly lost the trailer as well as the 2 show horses on board. As a result of the failure, we had to make arrangements for the transport of our horses back to our facility in ohio. In addition, we had to have the trailer towed to a secure site and a welder repair the hitch the next day in order for the trailer to be hauled safely back home. The welder who responded to our call, acknowledged that he had repaired another bus the same evening with the same occurrence only the trailer came off that motor home. The next day I notified the chasis, motorhome and hitch companies and sent pictures of the failure. Both the chasis and motorhome companies were receptive to my concern but the hitch company failed to acknowledge my emails and phone calls. Finally they responded, after 2 months, but are refusing to reimburse us for the repairs to the hitch. It had been confirmed that the putnam hitch was aware that many hitches were installed improperly-not only ours but many others-a brace bar was omitted-yet they are ignoring my requests for my out of pocket repair costs. Without repairs in st. Louis, the hitch was unusable. The issue is with the hitch company-putnam hitch and their lack of concern for the welfare of those who use their products as applied to the chassis of motor homes.

Steering: gear box: shaft pitman
- What is wrong
- Certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.

- Remedy
- Tiffin is working with freightliner to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1‑800‑547‑0712 or tiffin at 256‑356‑8661.
Recall number 08V027000 · Recall details
Electrical system: wiring: fuses and circuit breakers
- What is wrong

Electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.
- Risk
- Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in-fuel separator.
- Remedy
