Recall 22V589 affects 315 2022-2023 Tiffin motorhomes with Powerglide chassis for an overheating fuse. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.

Tiffin is recalling 315 2022-2023 Allegro Bus, Allegro Breeze, Phaeton, and Zephyr motorhomes with Powerglide chassis because the chassis fuse can overheat while the motorhome is moving.

What's wrong?

The chassis fuse in affected 2022-2023 Tiffin Allegro Bus, Allegro Breeze, Phaeton, and Zephyr motorhomes protects the electrical feed on Powerglide chassis models. It works like a resettable circuit breaker: current passes through it during normal driving, and the fuse opens when heat or electrical load rises beyond its limit. That protects wiring and connected systems from damage.

Tiffin used a substitute 150 amp chassis fuse after supply shortages affected the original part. When the engine compartment gets hot, the substitute fuse does not tolerate that heat as well as the original part. It can trip while the motorhome is moving, which interrupts chassis electrical power, blanks the dash display, and stalls the engine. Tiffin identified the substitute parts as black fuses with red arms; the original and replacement parts are black with yellow arms.

There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices can be the dash display going blank or the engine losing power during a trip.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Tiffin Allegro Bus, Allegro Breeze, Phaeton, or Zephyr motorhome is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Tiffin dealer to schedule the free fuse inspection and replacement that fixes the overheating chassis fuse tied to a blank dash display and engine stall.
  3. Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 22V589 (Tiffin recall TIF-126) when you call.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Tiffin technician inspects the chassis fuse and replaces the defective fuse when the inspection shows it is needed. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. Tiffin says it does not have a separate reimbursement plan for past issues because related repairs would have been handled under the Tiffin warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
