2017 Tiffin Allegro Open Road recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2017 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. A sticker on the tow hitch may list the incorrect weight capacity for the hitch. The sticker states a capacity of 10,000 lbs, and a maximum tongue weight of 1,000 lbs, when the correct towing capacity is 5,000 lbs, with a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.
💥 The risk
If the hitch is loaded to the weight on sticker, the hitch may fail and the towed vehicle can separate from the motorhome, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Tiffin will notify owners and will supply a corrected weight capacity sticker, free of charge. The recall began on March 22, 2017 . Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-105.
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.)
