2010–2013 Tiffin Allegro BUS recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Allegro Bus motorcoaches, manufactured from March 2010, through September 2012 and equipped with a Cummins EPA 2010 ISL engine. Insufficient shielding between the exhaust pipe and floor may cause possible overheating of the floor above the engine compartment.
💥 The risk
If the exhaust pipe in the engine compartment were to fail, the escaping exhaust gases could make the floor area above the engine extremely hot, increasing the risk of personal injury or possibly resulting in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Tiffin Motorhomes will notify owners, and dealers will install a heat shield, free of charge. The safety recall began on November 14, 2012. 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.)
