What's wrong?
The front suspension ball joints on the 2017 Tiffin Allegro Breeze are pivot points in the independent front suspension. That suspension lets each front wheel move up and down on its own while the steering system turns the wheel. The ball joint connects suspension parts such as the control arm, the metal link that holds the wheel assembly in position.
On affected motorhomes, the ball joints in the front suspension module can loosen. If a loose joint separates, the wheel is no longer held in the correct steering position. That can lead to a partial loss of steering, which makes the motorhome harder to control.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on noise, vibration, or steering feel to confirm whether this recall applies to your Allegro Breeze.

What happens at the repair
Tiffin has not listed the final dealer repair as open, so do not assume the service visit can be scheduled yet. When the repair opens, a Tiffin technician will inspect the independent front suspension ball joint, clean the joint, and secure it so it does not loosen or separate. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 17V232. Keep any Tiffin owner notice with your service paperwork so the dealer can match the campaign.
