Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Allegro Bus motorcoaches. The affected vehicles were manufactured between March 2010 and September 2012 and are equipped with a Cummins EPA 2010 ISL engine. A total of 847 units are included in this recall.

The recall addresses insufficient shielding between the exhaust pipe and the floor. If the exhaust pipe fails, escaping gases could cause the floor area above the engine compartment to become extremely hot. This condition increases the risk of personal injury or may result in a fire.

Tiffin Motorhomes will notify owners, and dealers will install a heat shield free of charge. The safety recall began on November 14, 2012. Owners may contact Tiffin at 1-256-356-8661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
