TRAILER HITCHES
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2017-2022 Wayfarer motorhomes. Continuous stress on the frame rail hitch extensions may cause them to fail.
- What it can cause
- Extension failure can cause the hitch to detach from the motorhome, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the hitch and reinforce the frame rail extension, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 29, 2021. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is WAY-101.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 3,170 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 70% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tiffin vehicles have been recalled over the trailer hitches 3 times before this, most recently in May 2018 as 18V328000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V650000 (wheels), 21V753000 (equipment).
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 August 5, 2021 as campaign 21V610000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
