Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 allegro bus models with powerglide chassis equipped with pneumatic and hydraulic adjustable brake pedal assemblies p/nos. 6562618, 6565118, 77025-001, 77025-002, 77025-501, 77050-004, supplied by kongsberg automotive. Some assemblies could contain a drive pin that is below specification and may become disengaged from the brake arm causing separation or loosening of the pedal from the remainder of the assembly.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record

Service Brakes, Air / Antilock
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin is recalling 329 my 2008-2009 allegro buses. The rear axle ABS modulating valve have the potential to be wired incorrectly. The right and left modulator valve harness pin could possibly be reversed at the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) connector.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Under slippery road conditions, when in the ABS mode, this wiring problem has the potential to cause one side of the rear wheels to lock while causing little or no braking effort on the opposite side. This may result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will remove the reversed pins from the ECU connector and insert them back into their correct position free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact tiffin at 256-356-8661.

Steering / Gear Box / Shaft Pitman
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain motor homes built on freightliner chassis and equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Tiffin is working with freightliner to replace the steering gear free of charge (please see 07v343 and 07e049). Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.

07V363000Received . 1,672 units.
Electrical System / Wiring / Fuses and Circuit Breakers
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain motor home chassis, there may be a loose connection between the bus bar and a grid pad due to the pins being slightly smaller diameters after assembly. Electrical power may be lost to components of the major chassis operating systems (engine, transmission, starting, cooling) causing the vehicle to shut down and/or not be capable of powering up.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Each vehicle could potentially experience a unique circumstance where one or a combination of the following conditions could occur: loss of electrical power to the engine, transmission, starting and engine cooling systems, operation of the right chassis stop/turn signal and right trailer stop/turn signal, the anti-lock brake system, auxiliary brake system, the heater elements in the air dryer, and the heater element in the water-in-fuel separator.
