2005–2009 Tiffin Zephyr & 2006–2009 Tiffin Allegro BUS + 1 more recall: trailer hitch
⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffin is recalling 1,408 my 2006-2009 Allegro BUS, my 2007-2009 Phaeton and my 2005-2009 Zephyr vehicles built on spartan chassis and equipped with putman hitches. Certain trailer hitches may fracture which could result in the loss of the trailer.
💥 The risk
Suspect hitches may develop fractures and subsequent separation may occur, resulting in a vehicle crash, property damage or pedestrian harm.
🔧 The fix
Tiffin is working with spartan and spartan is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 08V-567). The trailer hitch will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
