What's wrong?
The brake-light switch on 2006-2010 Tiffin Allegro and Allegro Bay motorhomes is the pedal-activated switch that turns on the rear brake lights. When you press the brake pedal, the switch sends the signal that tells traffic behind the motorhome you are slowing or stopping. On these motorhomes, the concern is tied to the brake-light switch function on Daimler/Freightliner chassis builds.
The brake lights do not stay reliable during light brake applications. A firm stop can still trigger the lights, while a lighter pedal press can leave the signal intermittent. That means the brakes can feel normal to the driver, but the warning to traffic behind the motorhome is not consistent.
There is no warning sign before failure. From the driver seat, you are unlikely to see the rear brake lights drop out during a light stop, so the problem can go unnoticed until someone checks the lights from outside the motorhome.
