Tiffin Allegro Bus Recalled for Defective Seat Belt Assemblies

Tiffin is recalling 2014 Allegro Bus vehicles because seat belts may fray and fail to restrain occupants in a crash.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat belt failure) that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Allegro Bus recreational vehicles equipped with specific Villa International ABTS driver and passenger seats. The recall involves 158 vehicles.

The seat belt attachment may be incorrect, causing the belt to rub against a steel bracket and fray, which reduces its strength. This defect means the seats do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209. A weakened seat belt may fail to properly restrain the occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair the single link system with fasteners and re-attach the seat belt bracket free of charge. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
