What this recall means for you
The passenger-side exterior mirror arm swivel mechanism may not hold its position securely, so the mirror can move while the vehicle is being driven. A mirror that shifts out of place reduces the driver's view of the road and surrounding traffic, which increases the risk of a crash.
If you own this motorhome, the repair is free. Contact Tiffin Motorhomes customer service at 1-256-356-8661 and reference recall TIF-103, or take the vehicle to an authorized Tiffin dealer, who will install a retrofit kit to secure the passenger mirror swivel arm. Tiffin will also notify affected owners directly.
