- Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 Allegro Bus motorcoaches, manufactured from March 2010, through September 2012 and equipped with a Cummins EPA 2010 ISL engine. Insufficient shielding between the exhaust pipe and floor may cause possible overheating of the floor above the engine compartment.

- TIFFIN MOTORHOMES IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 ALLEGRO BUS AND PHAETON RECREATIONAL VEHICLES BUILT ON THE POWERGLIDE CHASSIS EQUIPPED WITH A CUMMINS ISX OR ISL DIESEL ENGINE.

Checking your own RV
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2011 Tiffin Allegro Bus built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, on a plate near the entry door, inside a cabinet, or on the trailer tongue for a towable, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the RV is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
