Tiffin Recalls 2010-2012 Phaeton Motorhomes Due to Exhaust Fire Risk

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Phaeton motorhomes built on Powerglide chassis with floor plans QBH, QKH, and QTH. These vehicles were manufactured between July 1, 2010, and August 1, 2011. The recall involves 140 affected units.

The defect involves an exhaust pipe mounted too close to the underside of the floor. Insufficient spacing between the exhaust pipe and the floor may result in the insulation melting and an increased risk of a fire.

Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will change the configuration of the exhaust to provide extra clearance between it and the floor, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2015. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Note: Although these vehicles may have been previously repaired for this condition under recall number 11V-416, it is important that the affected vehicles receive the revised remedy of this recall.
