Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2006 through 2010 Allegro and Allegro Bay recreational vehicles equipped with Bosch hydraulic brakes. The brakes may experience reduced performance due to a condition where the brake caliper pistons can grow when the vehicles sit unused for extended periods, reducing the space between the piston and bore. This can cause brake drag and overheating, potentially leading to an increased risk of a crash.
Tiffin will notify affected owners, and authorized Daimler Trucks North America dealers will inspect and replace the brake calipers free of charge. An interim notice was mailed to owners on August 6, 2012. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America at 1-800-547-0712.
