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: Fire risk from electrical arcing is identified, but no fires or injuries have been reported. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported incidents score 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain 2022, 2023, and 2024 Allegro Bay motorhomes due to a defect in the battery hold-down system. The standard house batteries may shift position during travel, causing the battery terminals to contact the steel hold-down bar.

When battery terminals contact the steel hold-down bar, electrical arcing can occur, which increases the risk of fire.

Dealers will install a new battery hold-down bar and angle brackets free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on March 29, 2024. Owners should contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 to schedule the repair. Approximately 300 motorhomes may be affected.
