Recall 03V-149: 2000–2004 Tiffin Allegro, 2000–2004 Tiffin Allegro Bay
TIFFIN MOTOR HOMES recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Apr 14, 2003, covering about 1,174 vehicles.
The problem
Certain motor home chassis fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems." the brake system warning indicator may not function as required by standard.
The risk
In some of the affected vehicles, the brake system warning indicator will not illuminate when the ignition is in the start position or for a low brake fluid condition, if the body builder relied solely upon ford's ivm compliance statement for the brake system warning indicator.
The fix
Dealers will repair the brake warning lamp circuit. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.
Notes
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
