- The defect
- Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2016-2024 Allegro Bus, and 2017-2024 Zephyr motorhomes. The 240-Volt induction cooktop may not be grounded, which can create an electrical shock hazard if the wires short-circuit.
- What it can cause
- An electrical shock can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will install a ground for the metal junction box, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 20, 2023. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin's number for this recall is TIF-133.
- 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 1,188 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Tiffin vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 24 times before this, most recently in May 2023 as 23V308000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V566000 (electrical system), 24V036000 (seats), 23V406000 (electrical system), 22V589000 (electrical system).
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 September 20, 2023 as campaign 23V643000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
