CarRecallWatch- Component
- TRAILER HITCHES
- Problem
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. Insufficient strength of the frame rail may allow the tow hitch to detach from the motorhome.

What this recall means for you
Certain Allegro Open Road motorhomes from model years 2013 through 2018 may have a frame rail that is not strong enough to hold the tow hitch. If the hitch detaches, the tow vehicle is no longer connected to the motorhome, which increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will install an insert plate to strengthen the frame rail. The repair is free of charge. Some vehicles already repaired under an earlier recall (17V200) will need the additional work covered by this recall. Owners can contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 and reference recall TIF-109. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
