What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010 through 2012 Allegro motorhomes built on Ford F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis. The recall involves 1,250 units.

The gear shift cable may break at the attachment to the transmission control selector arm assembly mounted on the steering column. If the cable breaks, the transmission gear indicator in the instrument panel will remain in the first gear position regardless of the gear selected. This incorrect gear indication may prevent the driver from knowing if they are in park or reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

Tiffin is working with Ford to identify and notify owners of the affected motorhomes. Ford will replace the transmission selector arm assembly and the gear shift cable assembly free of charge. Owners may contact Tiffin at 1-256-356-8661 or the Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
