⚠️ What's wrong

Tiffin is recalling 3,507 my 2004-2007 Allegro, Allegro BAY and allero BUS, my 2004-2005 Phaeton and my 2005-2007 Zephyr motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. The refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
