Details

What's wrong: Tiffin motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. The tow hitch on these vehicles may can detach from the coach under heavy loading or hard braking conditions.

Why it matters: If the hitch detaches, the tow vehicle would not be connected to the motorhome, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install frame rail extension liner brackets, free of charge. The recall began on March 28, 2017.
