• Recall 2016035 [Canada]: Accessories
  On certain motorhomes equipped with lippert components inc. Electric entry steps, an internal bolt on the steps that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps could fracture. This results in the fan gear disengaging from the steps, which could cause the steps to stop in an unexpected position and appear to be loose or unstable.

• Recall 2013009 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the connector for the brake and cruise control signal diode jumper assembly may come loose, resulting in a possible intermittent or continuously open circuit. Two circuits are potentially affected. One circuit disengages the cruise control with brake pedal application, and the other circuit illuminates the brake lights with brake application. Failure of the cruise control to disengage, or of the brake lights to illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed, could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will verify that the locking tabs on the diode jumper assembly connector are fully engaged and locked into place.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

I received recall notice 14v-271. It requires an inline fuse to prevent possible fires. It does not address the issue which is water getting into the front and rear clearance lights and causing them to become inoperative. Which means the vehicle will be without the affective lights during operation. The failure is almost universally sure to occur.... Suggest that the manufacture replace the lights to assure compliance with federal, state and local laws. *tr

2010 allegro motor home. Consumer writes in regards to a defect that exists in the clearance lights on the unit. *smd the consumer stated the proposed solution of the recall would not correct the manufacturer's defective light and may result in a fire and probably would result in the loss of the clearance lights. The consumer would like the problem reviewed and a new directive requiring the manufacturer of the lights to replace the defective lights with new lights that are properly designed. The consumer referenced recall # 14v271000. *jb

On multiple occasions (12-22-2013 through 10-09-2016), while driving on a major highway or interstate in rain and/or snow the windshield wipers have stopped working. They typically stop mid stroke and will not operate in any of the low speed or intermittent settings. To get them started again you must turn the wipers off for a period of time and then turn them back on. Alternatively, they will begin working again if the ignition switch is turned off and back on. This is only a temporary fix as they will stop working after a short period of operation. I have replaced the pulse control module to no avail. I've had two tiffin authorized repair centers and a freightliner repair center to fix the problem, but they have been unable to duplicate the problem in the shop. This issue presents the driver with the same reduction of driver's visibility as the broken wiper arm (nhtsa recall # 16v-532).
