If you’re following an Alliance-built RV down the highway, you may want to give it plenty of distance. Alliance RV, LLC (Alliance) is recalling certain 2023 Paradigm 295MK and Avenue 23RLS fifth wheels. The freshwater tank may be installed incorrectly, which can result in the tank detaching from the vehicle. A freshwater tank that detaches from a vehicle can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The Alliance fresh water tank recall isn’t its first go-round.
While the number of RVs affected by this recall is but 50, this is not Alliance’s first “road-tripping freshwater tank rodeo.” An earlier Alliance recall asked for nearly 700 other rigs to come back for the same problem.
Alliance fresh water tank recall remedy
Dealers will inspect and remount the freshwater tank, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 13, 2025. Owners may contact Alliance customer service at 1-574-218-7165.
Background
This recall population differs from others not under recall by the way the fresh tank was mounted. There are a total of 50 RVs in scope. Five of these are Paradigm 295MK’s and the remaining 45 are Avenue 32RLS.
The company reported to NHTSA, “The defect is in how the cradles that holds the fresh tank in place is mounted to the bottom of the supporting rails vs. resting on.” The explanation for this recall is as clear as mud to us!

Thank you for the timely notice, Russ and Tina! Seems they are saying that the fresh water tank was supposed to sit atop a pair of rails and be afixed there rather than put between the rails and afixed to the bottom of the rails. In the former configuration, the rails provide support backup if the connection fails. Have a great day and safe travels!
You’d think the people building these rv’s would do a better job but when you don’t use a product you have no idea if what you’re doing is right vs being told “do it this way” kinda like Amish wiring
Don’t use electric so why learn!
Our 09 Cedar Creek was about to drop the tanks. When I had the belly covers all removed I discovered the tank support rails were fastened to the frame with self tapping screws! Dumb! Half of them sheared. Just a matter of time.
Drilled and replaced with grade 8 bolts.
