What's wrong?
The driver-side windshield wiper on the 2017 Tiffin Allegro is the arm and blade that clear rain from the driver's view. A pivot shaft and linkage move that arm across the glass and bring it back to its resting position. The wiper path has to stay on the windshield so the arm can reverse direction without binding.
On affected Allegro motorhomes, the driver-side pivot shaft was incorrect and the linkage was too short. That geometry lets the wiper travel past the edge of the windshield, called over-wipe. When the arm tries to return from that position, it can bind at the edge of the glass and break instead of sweeping back normally.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue shows up when the wiper is operating, especially when rain requires the driver-side wiper to clear and return repeatedly.
Who's affected?
The affected Allegro motorhomes were built from June 7, 2016, through August 15, 2016.
