Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake caliper growth) that leads to reduced brake performance and an increased risk of a crash. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported are classified as High (3).
Plain-English summary
TIFFIN Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 Allegro and Allegro Bay recreational vehicles equipped with Bosch hydraulic brakes. The recall addresses a defect in the hydraulic brake system where the motorhome chassis, when exposed to long periods of non-driving, may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth. This growth reduces the clearance between the piston and the bore, potentially leading to brake drag and overheating.
The primary consequence of this defect is reduced brake performance, which may lead to an increased risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
Owners will be notified by TIFFIN. Authorized Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) dealers will inspect the vehicles and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners by DTNA on August 6, 2012. Owners may also contact DTNA at 1-800-547-0712 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
