2006 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BUS Recalls (4)
- Campaign:
- 05V307000 on 07/04/2005
- Component:
- Electrical system
- Manufactured:
- 02/21/2005 - 04/11/2005
- Affected:
- 265
- Defect:
- On certain motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. the copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
- Consequence:
- When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the changeover box. the recall began on july 21, 2005. owners may contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.
- Notes:
- Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
- Campaign:
- 08V027000 on 01/24/2008
- Component:
- Steering:gear box:shaft pitman
- Affected:
- 1,292
- Defect:
- Certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. this could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
- Consequence:
- The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
- Correction:
- Tiffin is working with freightliner to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.

- Component:
- Equipment:recreational vehicle
- Affected:
- 3,507
- Defect:
- Tiffin is recalling 3,507 my 2004-2007 allegro, allegro bay and allero bus, my 2004-2005 phaeton and my 2005-2007 zephyr motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation. the refrigerator may have a defect in the boiler tube. pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
- Consequence:
- Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
- Correction:
- Tiffin will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 08e032). dometic will repair these refrigerators by installing a secondary burn housing, a thermal fuse, and a melt fuse free of charge. dometic has retained stericycle inc. to manage this campaign. stericycle will assist the owner in locating dealerships or service centers and will provide assistance with scheduling of appointments. owners may contact dometic/stericycle at 1-888-446-5157 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.

- Campaign:
- 09V069000 on 02/26/2009
- Component:
- Trailer hitches
- Affected:
- 1,408
- Defect:
- Tiffin is recalling 1,408 my 2006-2009 allegro bus, my 2007-2009 phaeton and my 2005-2009 zephyr vehicles built on spartan chassis and equipped with putman hitches. certain trailer hitches may fracture which could result in the loss of the trailer.
- Consequence:
- Suspect hitches may develop fractures and subsequent separation may occur, resulting in a vehicle crash, property damage or pedestrian harm.
- Correction:
- Tiffin is working with spartan and spartan is handling the remedy for this campaign (please see 08v-567). the trailer hitch will be replaced free of charge. owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.
