09V443000Received 17 Nov 2009. 528 units.
Equipment / Recreational Vehicle/Trailer
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin is recalling certain recreational vehicle equipped with norcold model 1200lr and 1200lrim refrigerators, manufactured from december 1, 2001, with serial numbers between 1273701 and 1536607, non-consecutively. A fatigue failure in the section of the cooling unit which contains the refrigerant could allow the liquid solution to slowly leak. If a leak occurs and the refrigerator continues to be operated after solution circulation has ceased the heat source could generate very high temperatures. At such high temperatures, the cooling unit could rupture.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If a leak occurs and the unit is continues to operate, hydrogen gas may be expelled and can be ignited, resulting in a fire, possibly causing serious injury or death.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin is working with norcold and tiffin will notify owners and the vehicle's refrigerator will be repaired free of charge by norcold. Please see norcold's defect report 09e-027. Owners may contact norcold's recall center at 1-800-767-9101.
Report filed by TIFFIN MOTORHOMES, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 7 Dec 2009.
09V110000Received 3 Apr 2009. 48,876 units.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Navistar is recalling certain model year my 2001-2008 workhorse w20, w21 and w22 chassis and certain model year 2009 through 2011 monaco RV admiral, arista, monarch, and riptide recreational vehicles equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Workhorse dealers will replace all four bosch brake caliper assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on september 16, 2010. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.

Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motor homes equipped with a two-door refrigerator manufactured by the dometic corporation, these refrigerators may have a defect in the boiler tube. Pressurized coolant solution could be released into an area where an ignition source (gas flame) is present.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin motorhomes will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (please see 06e076).

Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Brake Fluid Low Warning / Lamp
Defect, in the NHTSA record
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.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
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.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
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.
