What's wrong?
The driver's seat pedestal in these 2022 Tiffin Allegro Red 360, Allegro Bus, Zephyr, and Phaeton motorhomes is the metal support that anchors the driver's seat to the floor. It includes a mounting plate and welded pedestal structure, so the seat stays fixed while the motorhome accelerates, brakes, turns, and hits road vibration.
On affected motorhomes, the pedestal mounting plate was not fully welded during seat production. Villa International told Tiffin that certain driver's side seat pedestals were only tack welded instead of finished with a full weld. Those incomplete welds can let the plate separate from the pedestal, which can make the driver's seat assembly loosen or detach.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can inspect the driver's seat pedestal and compare the weld: the corrected part has a complete weld around the pedestal, while the recalled part has only a few spot welds.

What's the safety risk?
A loose or detached seat assembly gives the driver less secure support and increases the risk of injury. There is no warning sign before failure, but the driver's seat pedestal can be inspected for the correct weld. Schedule the inspection and repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Tiffin Allegro Red 360, Allegro Bus, Zephyr, or Phaeton is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Tiffin dealer to schedule the free driver's-seat pedestal inspection and pedestal replacement if the weld is missing.
- Bring the recall notice if Tiffin mailed one, or reference recall number 24V036 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Tiffin technician inspects the driver's seat pedestal mounting plate for the missing weld covered by recall 24V036. If the weld is missing, the technician replaces the pedestal. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under the recall. Tiffin used its standard reimbursement plan for this campaign. If you already paid out of pocket for a related driver's seat pedestal repair before the recall notice, ask Tiffin customer service or the dealer how to file under that plan and bring your repair paperwork.
