A slide-room that were to extend unintentionally during transit can increase the risk of a crash.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V273
Manufacturer Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
Components STRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected 656
Summary
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Allegro motorhomes. The slide-room may extend out 6 to 8 inches while parked or possibly while moving, due to defective seals in the hydraulic cylinders.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the hydraulic cylinders, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 1, 2022. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Tiffin’s number for this recall is TIF-122.
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.nhtsa.gov.
Tiffin Motorhomes has become aware of the possibility that on these motorhomes, the hydraulic cylinder that moves certain slide-rooms may have a defective inner seal. If a hydraulic cylinder has a defective inner seal, it is possible the slide-room could extend from the motorhome on its own 6-8 inches while parked after non-use, or possibly, while in transit. Please note that there is an acceptable relaxation tolerance of ½ to 1 inch. This recall is for movement beyond this tolerance. A slide room that were to extend unintentionally 6-8 inches during transit can increase the risks of a crash.
Tiffin Motorhomes will have the defective cylinders replaced with a new cylinder that have an updated inner seal.

For all 38 AB floorplans, AL9859RC01 for 15 hours for repair. Correction Procedure for 38AB ONLY: Note: Never assume hydraulic pressure is totally relieved when loosening any fittings. Please do so slowly. Safety glasses are recommended for the duration of the procedure. To repair Driver’s Side Front Room 1. Extend room fully and bump back 1” to 2” to ease pressure on system. 2. Have pan available to catch hydraulic fluid. 3. Remove two 3/4″ nuts (figure 1) from outside of rod end cylinder mount (figure 2) with 1 1/8” wrench and plyers if needed. 4. Retract cylinder enough for threaded end of slide cylinder to clear rod end of cylinder mount. 5. Remove remaining 3/4” nuts and hex stop bell (figure 3) with 1 1/8” wrench. Figure 3: Hex stop bell Figure 1: 3/4 Nut Figure 2: Rod end cylinder mount Page 2 of 7 6. Fully retract slide cylinders. 7. Detach hoses (figure 4) from slide cylinders with 11/16” wrench and drain hydraulic fluid. 8. Pull cotter pin (figure 5) from dowel pin (figure 6) at base of slide cylinder. 9. Remove dowel pin (figure 6) from base of slide cylinder. **NOTE: to have access to the rear slide on driver’s side for the removal process, worker must remove sewer panel shown below using Phillips head screwdriver, hose cutters, buzz saw, and 7/16” wrench. Please be aware to not damage or kink any of the electrical and plumbing components. Figure 4: Hydraulic hose Figure 5: Cotter pin Figure 6: Dowel pin Page 3 of 7 10. Removed the two doors directly in front of fender 11. The jamb metal and shocks can be removed for clearance of the tank 12. Sewer board can now be removed. This will take a Phillips head screwdriver to remove all screws along the outside edge and any individual components. Next will have to unhook the pump switch wires and using a 7/16” wrench the cable tripod can be unattached. Trim wires on back of sewer board with enough slack to reattach for reinstallation: NOTE: The “City Water Connection” may leak, so tape up any exposed wire for safety Page 4 of 7 13. Once the lines and tank are exposed the pump at the bottom right of cargo area can be unscrew with Phillips head along with the tank braces on the sides of the compartment. 14. The lines in red, blue (hot and cold) and soft lines will then need to be cut out. The hose connected to the top left of the tank can be unscrewed and removed from the tank without cutting. 15. The pipe at the bottom of the tank sticking below the compartment itself will have to be trimmed at least an inch to be turned in a position that will allow the tank to be removed. Page 5 of 7 16. The soft lines on top of the tank will then need to be removed but unscrewing or cutting the clamps off allows the lines to be pulled freely from their attachments. 17. The tank should be able to slide out of the compartment and able to access the slide cylinders 18. Remove slide cylinders. 19. Attach fittings onto new cylinders with 5/8” wrench. Tighten until snug, and then another 1/4 turn. Page 6 of 7 20. Place three 3/4 nuts that will be inside of rod end cylinder mount on threaded end of cylinder. Measurements for nuts should be as follows: a. 3” from threaded end of cylinder to first of two nuts side of rod end cylinder mount. (Figure 7) b. 8” from threaded end of cylinder to far side of hex stop bell (figure 8). Secure in place with 3/4 nut with a 1 1/8” wrench. (See image below) 21. Attach hoses to cylinders with 11/16” wrench. Tighten until snug, and then another 1/4 turn. 22. Attach new cylinders to base end cylinder mount with dowel and cotter pins. Figure 8: Hex stop bell Figure 7: Rod end cylinder mount Page 7 of 7 23. Activate room cylinders from inside of coach, while one person on each cylinder guides threaded end of cylinder through bracket on underside of inside board. Extend both cylinders until 3/4 nuts are against bracket on underside of inside board. 24. Place remaining two 3/4″ nuts on threaded end of cylinder and tighten against rod end cylinder mount with 1 1/8” wrench. 25.

For Canadian Owners: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This is to inform you that your vehicle may contain a defect that could affect the safety of a person. Tiffin Motorhomes has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists on the following models of motorhomes: 2021 Allegro Open Roads, 34PA and 36UA floorplans only, and 2022 Allegro Open Roads, all floorplans. Tiffin Motorhomes has become aware of the possibility that on these motorhomes, the hydraulic cylinder that moves certain slide-rooms may have a defective inner seal.

Please note that there is an acceptable relaxation tolerance of ½ to 1 inch. This recall is for movement beyond this tolerance. A slide room that were to extend unintentionally during transit can increase the risks of a crash. Tiffin Motorhomes will have the defective cylinders replaced with a new cylinder that have an updated inner seal. Please arrange to take your motorhome to a reputable service center OR dealer of your choice to have the correction completed. The recall repair will take approximately 1 hour for the majority of floorplans or up to 3 hours for all 34PA floorplans and will be completed at no charge to you, the owner.
