Tiffin recalled some 2008 allegro bay motor homes, but ours was not on the list. We had an issue with the brake calipers failing in july of 2015. This was the issue of the recall. We made a quick stop to avoid a vehicle and then the brakes began to drag. Pulled over, brakes were overheated so we began to search for repair facility. We were able to drive slowly to the garage which was only about a half mile. Spent somewhere around 6 hours in repair facility. They replaced the calipers on both rear brakes. This is exactly what the recall stated would happen. We were never notified, and still don;t know if our vehicle should have been. There may be others with this same issue.

The rear view driver's side mirror on a 2008 allegro bus rv made by tiffin is mounted in a manner/location that causes a very large blind spot making it unsafe to make a left turn. On june 4, 2007, i purchased from an rv dealership in kingston, new york a new 2008 allegro bus made by tiffin. On june 5, 2007, i left new york for home in ohio with the new rv purchased the previous day. During the trip home, i realized the problem with the mirror and the blind spot. Tiffin picked up the rv in ohio and took to their factory in alabama to move the mirror, and to repair other defects with the rv, and returned it back to me in ohio. Tiffin never moved the mirror which still causes a very large blind spot making it unsafe to make a left turn. New rv's from tiffin are still like this even though tiffin is well aware of the problem from me and other customers. *tr
