What this recall covers
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2017 Allegro Bus motorhomes manufactured April 12, 2016, to June 21, 2016. Due to insufficient holding power of the mirror arm swivel mechanism, the passenger side mirror could move while the vehicle is in motion.
- The risk
- If the mirror does not stay in position, it can reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install a retrofit kit to secure the passenger mirror swivel arm mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2016. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256- 356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-103.
- Notes

Is my vehicle affected?
Being on this list means your year, make and model fall inside campaign 16V638000. It does not mean your individual vehicle does: a campaign covers a range of VINs built in a specific window, and vehicles either side of that window are untouched.
Check the 17-character VIN from the driver-side dashboard or door jamb against NHTSA's lookup. If it is covered, the dealer must do the work free of charge, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage.
