Is my product affected?

2013 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BUS

  • Brand TIFFIN

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2013 Allegro Bus recreational vehicles equipped with Villa ISS GSK driver and passenger seats because the seat belt attachment may be installed incorrectly and the seat belt may fray if it rubs against a steel bracket in the seat. This fraying weakens the seat belt, which may fail to properly restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

To address this issue, Tiffin will notify owners and dealers will inspect the seat belt installation at no charge. If the seat belt is incorrectly installed or damaged, dealers will re-assemble it correctly with proper attachment hardware. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 for further information.
