Equipment: other: labelsReported September 30, 2014 · 488 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Allegro Bus 45 foot LP, 37 foot, and 40 foot motorhomes. In the affected vehicles, the Federal Certification label incorrectly states the front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). As such, the vehicles do not conform to Part 567, "Certification."

Seat beltsReported July 16, 2014 · 140 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2013 Allegro Bus recreational vehicles equipped with Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger seats.

Risk: The weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for the correct seat belt installation, or re-assemble the seat belt correctly with proper attachment hardware if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 25, 2014. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1‑256‑356‑8661.

Structure: frame and members: underbody shieldsReported October 31, 2012 · 847 vehicles affected

What is wrong: Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Allegro Bus motorcoaches, manufactured from March 2010, through September 2012 and equipped with a Cummins EPA 2010 ISL engine.

Filed May 14, 2018 · Engine · 83,000 miles · DE

Cooling system fan drive belt tensioner develops cracks that progress to the point of catastrophic failure where half the bracket end and two heavy pulleys are ejected from the vehicle by the fast moving fan belt.. This has been a known problem and tiffin has redesigned the bracket and is repairing them as they fail. There have been numerous failures and posts about them posted in the on-line recreational vehicle forums. As a result of these posts, I added a check of this bracket to my maintenance checklist. A major maintenance cycle was completed just before christmas and no problem was found. Another maintenance cycle was completed this may, approximately 6000 miles later, and the cracks were found. Tiffin was notified and a replacement bracket is being sent to me.
