ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Phaeton recreational vehicles. During manufacturing, an electrical outlet was not installed as intended, resulting in an open electrical wire inside the wall.
- What it can cause
- An open electrical wire can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the vehicle and install an outlet on the wire, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2021. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-119.
- 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 .

How this campaign compares
At 111 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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 model years 2021 to 2022, 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 electrical system 5 times before this, most recently in March 2019 as 19V228000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 6 complaints with NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 11 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V566000 (electrical system), 24V036000 (seats), 23V406000 (electrical system), 22V814000 (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 October 7, 2021 as campaign 21V783000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
