💥 Crash riskNHTSA 12V327📅 Jul 11, 2012

2006–2010 Tiffin Allegro & 2006–2010 Tiffin Allegro BAY recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 Allegro and Allegro BAY recreational vehicles equipped with bosch hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance.

💥 The risk

Reduced brake performance may lead to an increased risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Tiffin will notify the owners, and authorized daimler trucks north america (dtna) dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners by dtna on august 6, 2012. Owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712.

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.)
