Details

What's wrong: Tiffin motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Phaeton motorhomes built on powerglide chassis with floor plans qbh, qkh, and qth manufactured July 1, 2010, to August 1, 2011. The affected vehicles have an exhaust pipe that is mounted too close to the underside of the floor.

Why it matters: Insufficient spacing between the exhaust pipe and the floor may result in the insulation melting and an increased risk of a fire.

The fix: Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will change the configuration of the exhaust to provide extra clearance between it and the floor, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2015.
