2011 Tiffin Allegro/Phaeton Recall 10V512: Gas Leak

Recall 10V512 affects 62 2011 Tiffin Allegro, Allegro Bus and Phaeton RVs with propane oven gas-line fractures. Repair is free.

Tiffin is recalling 62 2011 Allegro, Allegro Bus, and Phaeton RVs equipped with Atwood 35 Series range ovens because a fracture in the gas line to the oven burner can leak propane. A propane leak near an ignition source can lead to fire or explosion, and the Tiffin dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The Atwood 35 Series range oven in the 2011 Tiffin Allegro, Allegro Bus, and Phaeton uses a gas line to feed propane to the oven cavity burner. That line is supposed to stay sealed while it delivers fuel to the burner, so propane reaches the flame point instead of escaping into the coach.

On affected motorhomes, a small fracture can form within the line that delivers gas to the oven cavity burner. Once that line is cracked, propane gas can leak from the delivery line before it reaches the burner. The defect is in the oven's fuel path, so the recall centers on the gas delivery line inside the range oven.

There is no warning sign before failure. If you smell propane or suspect a gas leak, stop using the oven and keep open flame away from the area until the range is inspected.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.

What's the safety risk?

Propane leaking from the stove area near an ignition source can lead to a fire or explosion, with property damage or personal injury. If your VIN is included, avoid using the stove until the recall repair is complete, and ask the dealer what to shut off before service. Repair will be free at any franchised Tiffin dealer once available.

  3. Contact a franchised Tiffin dealer or Tiffin service contact to ask about the free Atwood 35 Series range-oven repair that fixes the propane gas leak risk.
  4. Reference recall number 10V512 when you call, and bring the recall notice if you have it.

What happens at the repair
