Tiffin Motorhomes Recalls 2015 Allegro and Phaeton Models for Slide-Out Defect

Tiffin is recalling specific 2015 Allegro and Phaeton motorhomes because moisture may cause slide-out sections to extend while driving, increasing crash risk.

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/mechanical defect in a vehicle that can cause the slide-out to extend while moving, explicitly increasing the risk of a vehicle crash, which aligns with the 'structural vehicle defect' criterion for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Allegro Red 36 QSA, Allegro Red 38 QBA, Phaeton 40 QBH, and Phaeton 40 QKH motorhomes. These vehicles were manufactured between April 22, 2014, and May 8, 2015.

In the affected vehicles, moisture may enter the slide-out controller and cause the "switch out" connection to short. This can cause the motorhome slide-out section to extend while the motorhome is moving. If the slide-out opens during transit, there is an increased risk of a vehicle crash.

Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay to disconnect the power source of the slide-out, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
