Recalls on file

NHTSA has 28 recalls on file for the Tiffin Allegro Bus. The most common areas are seat belts (3), electrical system (2) and fuses and circuit breakers (2). Each one is listed below as filed. A recall is fixed free at a dealer, even on a used rig, and even years later.

Questions owners ask

Where can I find the Tiffin Allegro Bus owner's manual?

Tiffin does not have manuals online that we could find. The makers of the fridge, water heater, furnace and slides do, and they cover most of the rig. Our free manuals on this page explain how each system works.

Does the Tiffin Allegro Bus have any recalls?

Yes. NHTSA lists 28 recalls for it. The most common area is seat belts. Check your own VIN on the NHTSA site to see if yours was fixed.

Is a recall repair free on a used RV?

Yes. A safety recall is fixed free by the maker's dealers no matter who owns the rig now or how old it is. Call the maker or any dealer for that brand with your VIN.

Where is the VIN on an RV?

Look for a sticker by the entry door, inside a cabinet near the door, or on the tongue or front frame of a trailer. The title and registration show it too.
