2010–2012 Tiffin Phaeton recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Phaeton motorhomes with floor plans qbh, qkh, and qth that are built with 2010 epa-certified engines on powerglide chassis. The exhaust pipe is mounted too close to the underside of the floor.
💥 The risk
Melting of the insulation CAN occur, possibly resulting in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will attach a heat shield to the bottom of the floor and an insulating sock or blanket will be wrapped around the exhaust pipe. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on september 19, 2011. Owners may contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.
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.)
