The problem
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Allegro Open Road motorhomes equipped with Liquid Spring suspension systems. A hydraulic suspension hose may be routed incorrectly, resulting in contact between the hose and the inside rear tire.
The risk
If the tire is rubbed repeatedly, the tire may suddenly deflate, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers inspect the position of the hydraulic hoses. If found to be incorrect, the clamp position will be corrected and the hydraulic hoses and tires inspected for any damage. Damaged components will be replaced as necessary. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began August 23, 2019. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-112.
