What's wrong?

The sofa seat belts in the 2018-2022 Tiffin Allegro Breeze, Allegro Red, Allegro, Allegro Bus, Phaeton, and Zephyr motorhomes are supposed to hold passengers firmly in place while the vehicle is moving. Each belt needs secure floor anchor points so the belt can transfer force into the coach structure instead of pulling loose from the sofa area.

On affected motorhomes, the floor mounting points were present and the engineering prints were correct, but production installed the sofa belts using one mounting point per belt location instead of two. That leaves the sofa belt anchorage weaker than intended. When the belt is needed, a passenger seated on the sofa can be unsecured because the belt is not attached the way the design requires.

Owners can check the sofa belts for looseness or a lack of securement at the mounting area. If a sofa belt feels loose, that is the warning sign described for this recall.

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?

Unsecured passengers face a higher risk of injury in a crash because the sofa seat belts are not holding them properly. If a sofa seat belt feels loose or does not stay secured, limit passenger use of that seat and schedule the repair. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.

  2. Contact a franchised Tiffin dealer to schedule the free sofa seat belt inspection and repair that secures the passenger belts.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Tiffin mailed one. If not, reference recall number 21V680 when you call.
  4. Avoid seating passengers on the sofa until the seat belt repair is complete.
