What happened

Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2014-2016 Allegro Phaeton and 2015-2016 Allegro Bus motorhomes manufactured between October 1, 2014 and August 1, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with specific ZF RL77/80EM independent front steering axles with Bosch 8018 steering boxes that were built with incorrect internal spacers. This defect can cause premature wear in the connection between the steering wheel and front axle, potentially leading to a sudden loss of steering ability and increased crash risk.

Owners of affected vehicles should not drive them until inspection is complete. Tiffin dealers will inspect and replace the steering box if necessary at no cost to owners. The recall began on August 17, 2016. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 for more information or to schedule an inspection.
