Summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2013-2018 Allegro Open Road motorhomes. Insufficient strength of the frame rail may allow the tow hitch to detach from the motorhome.

Safety Risk

If the hitch detaches, the tow vehicle would not be connected to the motorhome, increasing the risk of a crash.
