STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2021 Phaeton motorhomes, equipped with a roof mounted passenger side awning. A roof mounted body panel may have been improperly attached to the roof.
- What it can cause
- The roof mounted body panel may detach and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, properly adhere the body panel, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 26, 2021. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-115.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 215 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tiffin vehicles have been recalled over the structure 2 times before this, most recently in May 2018 as 18V341000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 22V511000 (equipment), 21V680000 (seat belts), 21V783000 (electrical system), 21V545000 (fuel system, diesel).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. with NHTSA on April 15, 2021 as campaign 21V265000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
