2010–2012 Tiffin Allegro recall: powertrain & transmission

⚠️ What's wrong

Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2012 Allegro motorhomes built on ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis. The gear shift cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the gear shift display in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected.

💥 The risk

An incorrect gear indication in the instrument panel may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Tiffin is working with ford to identify and notify owners of the affected motorhomes. Ford will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the gear shift cable assembly, free of charge. Owners may contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661 or ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332.

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.)
