What happened

Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2009-2010 Bus model recreational vehicles and 2009-2011 and 2013 Zephyr recreational vehicle chassis equipped with specific electronic control modules. The cruise control system in these vehicles may fail to cancel when the brake is applied, and the vehicles may experience an unintended moderate increase in speed until reaching the governed maximum speed after cruise control is activated. These issues could reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Tiffin Motorhomes at 1-256-356-8661. The company will repair the vehicles free of charge as part of the safety recall, which began on January 9, 2012.
