What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2022 Cahaba recreational vehicles. The recall addresses defects in the vehicle's suspension system, specifically the rear and front Sumo Springs.

The rear Sumo Springs may be the wrong size, which could cause them to buckle from over-compression. Additionally, the front Sumo Springs may have been installed in an incorrect location, potentially causing damage to the front axle. These mechanical failures can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and replace the rear Sumo Springs and relocate the front springs, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 21, 2023. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
