Tiffin RV recall: Blown fuse may cause engine shutdown

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Phaeton, Allegro Bus, and Zephyr motorhomes.

The PowerGlide chassis controller may have insufficient circuit protection, which can result in a blown fuse and cause an engine shutdown.

An engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash which could lead to an injury or worse. As many as 393 RVs may be affected by the safety recall which was issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on July 30.

Remedy

Dealers will install circuit protection, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 27, 2024. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin’s number for this recall is TIF-141.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

And the hits just keep on coming. From the manufaturers to the end users..every week and sometimes every day.

I have a Class B, so it is relatively easy to determine if I should take my RV to the RV dealer or to the Chevy Dealer. In the case of this Tiffin recall, do they take the RV back to the Tiffin dealer? If so, do RV dealers actually have engine/chassis mechanics on site? Just curious as to how that works.
