Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on May 19, 2015 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 304. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.(Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2015 Allegro Red 36 QSA, Allegro Red 38 QBA, Phaeton 40 QBH, and Phaeton 40 QKH motorhomes manufactured April 22, 2014, to May 8, 2015. In the affected vehicles, moisture may enter the slide-out controller and cause the "switch out" connection to short, and cause the motorhome slide-out section to extend while the motorhome is moving.
The risk
If the slide-out opens during transit, there is an increased risk of a vehicle crash.
The remedy
Tiffin will notify owners, and dealers will install a relay to disconnect the power source of the slide-out, free of charge. The recall began on June 16, 2015. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 15V297000.
