What's wrong?
The tow hitch on the 2015-2017 Tiffin Allegro and Allegro Open Road motorhomes is the receiver assembly used to connect a trailer or towed vehicle to the motorhome. The weight capacity sticker on that hitch tells the owner and service shop how much load the hitch is rated to carry. That label is supposed to match the actual hitch rating so towing choices stay within the equipment limit.
On these motorhomes, the hitch itself is not described as the wrong part. The problem is the capacity sticker. Tiffin traced the issue to an incorrect sticker supplied by a vendor, so the label can show the wrong weight capacity for the hitch. If an owner relies on that label, the motorhome can be used with a towing load that does not match the hitch's actual rating.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is a wrong label, not a sound, warning light, or obvious handling change you can spot from the driver's seat.

What's the safety risk?
If the hitch is loaded to the weight shown on the incorrect sticker, the hitch can fail and the towed vehicle can separate from the motorhome, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before separation. Avoid towing at the sticker limit until the label is replaced. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.
