Owners notified February 5, 2018 · Vehicles built January 1, 2003 – November 30, 2017 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2009-2018 Allegro and Allegro RED, Bus and Phaeton vehicles, 2009-2010 Bay vehicles, 2011-2018 Breeze vehicles, and 2009-2015, and 2017-2018 Zephyr vehicles. These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable.

Safety consequence

In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

Repair completion: 91.65% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified August 17, 2016 · Vehicles built October 1, 2014 – August 1, 2015 (per NHTSA)

Safety consequence
