Tiffin Recalls 2009-2013 Buses and Zephyrs for Cruise Control Defect

Tiffin is recalling certain 2009-2013 Bus and Zephyr vehicles because the cruise control may fail to cancel when braking or cause unintended speed increases.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the cruise control fails to cancel or causes unintended acceleration, which the source text explicitly states increases the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Bus and 2009-2011 and 2013 Zephyr recreational vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with an electronic control module, part number 2791-NN2E-001 or 2791-NN2E-002. The recall affects 181 vehicles.

The defect involves the vehicle speed control system. When the driver applies the brake, the cruise control may not cancel. Additionally, after the cruise control is set, the vehicle may exhibit an inadvertent, moderate increase in speed until it reaches the governed speed. This issue can reduce the driver's control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash if the driver is unaware of the speed increase or attempts to cancel the system by braking.

Owners should contact Tiffin at 1-256-356-8661 to schedule a free repair. The safety recall began on January 9, 2012. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
