ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2022 Zephyr, 2022-2023 Phaeton, Allegro Breeze and Allegro Bus motorhomes equipped with a Powerglide chassis. The chassis fuse can overheat while the motorhome is in motion, possibly causing the dash display to go blank and the engine to stall.
- What it can cause
- An engine that shuts down unexpectedly increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the defective fuse, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 31, 2022. Owners may contact Tiffin's customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-126.
- 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 315 vehicles this is a small campaign: 55% of the 16,144 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Tiffin vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 8 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V291000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, 1 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V662000 (fuel system, diesel), 24V566000 (electrical system), 24V036000 (seats), 23V643000 (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, 2022 as campaign 22V589000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
