Similar to recall 22V-273 for older Tiffin Allegro Bays and Open Roads, our 2024 Allegro Bay slide room comes out 6-8" on it's own and has now started coming out while driving. Part supplier Lippert confirms it and says parts are being manufactured to address the problem. This has been an issue since purchase and the dealer, Tiffin and Lippert are all aware. There is no warning that the slide is creeping other than wind noise.
Dear NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline, I am reporting possible safety defects involving my 2026 Tiffin Allegro Bay 38AB motorhome. We purchased it new from Blue Compass RV in [XXX], on XXX I have observed the following issues: 1. On the drive home immediately after delivery, hydraulic fluid leaked from somewhere near the front driver’s side and spread over the driver’s side of the RV. The source of the leak has not been confirmed. 2. The motorhome has an alignment problem that needs assessment. 3. The passenger-side slide does not retract proper…
Shortly following delivery of the motorhome, there appeared a catastrophic crack in the fiberglass on the leading side of the overhead bunk (driver's side). Left unresolved, the primary safety concern is that the crack will expand and, while traveling (especially at higher speed), the top portion of the overhead bunk will separate from the motorhome - putting motorists traveling behind, and anyone then in the overhead bunk, at risk. The motorhome has been inspected by an independent I-CAR Gold Class repair professional and remains available f…

There is no warning that the slide is creeping other than wind noise.
The recall listed under Tiffin-142, involves the sub-frame truss collapse that could cause a fire. The NHTSA RECALL # 24V-669. Tiffin has failed to instruct or direct a direct link to an engineer for advise. Tiffin made arrangements with Rush Truck Leasing Company, Phoenix Arizona, to make the repairs, and it now sits for three days with no specific direction to repair. All of this should have been addressed prior to the notice!!
