NHTSA recall 17V113000
Equipment · Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Details
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.
Why it matters: 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 .
