ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Phaeton, Allegro Bus, and Zephyr motorhomes built on PowerGlide chassis. A fuse will trip during an a/c compressor failure, causing a loss of power to the chassis.
- What it can cause
- Loss of power to the chassis can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the chassis controller, and install a harness and inline fuse as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 20, 2023. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-131.
- 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 450 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tiffin vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 9 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V589000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V566000 (electrical system), 24V036000 (seats), 23V643000 (equipment), 23V532000 (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 June 5, 2023 as campaign 23V406000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
