Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2017 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. The recall involves a sticker on the tow hitch that lists incorrect weight capacities. The sticker states a capacity of 10,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 1,000 lbs, whereas the correct towing capacity is 5,000 lbs with a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs.
