The problem
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.(Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2015 Allegro Red 36 QSA, Allegro Red 38 QBA, Phaeton 40 QBH, and Phaeton 40 QKH motorhomes manufactured April 22, 2014, to May 8, 2015. In the affected vehicles, moisture may enter the slide-out controller and cause the "switch out" connection to short, and cause the motorhome slide-out section to extend while the motorhome is moving.
The risk
If the slide-out opens during transit, there is an increased risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay to disconnect the power source of the slide-out, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661.
Notes
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.safercar.gov.
