TIFFIN Complaints

The contact owns a 2024 Tiffin Open Road RV. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the driver's side slide out room erroneously activated and extended out. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while the RV was parked and turned off. The contact also stated that shortly after obtaining the RV, it was discovered that hydraulic fluid was leaking from the RV. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 300.

Traveling in rain when passenger side windshield wiper came off as the wiper arm traveled past the curve of the windshield. Had to remove the passenger side wiper arm in order to continue in the rain while only able to use driver side wiper.

The contact owns a 2020 Tiffin Allegro Red RV constructed on a 2020 Freightliner XC Modular Chassis. The contact stated that the instrument cluster display had started to delaminate. The contact stated that the delamination was on the left side of the display screen and was moving across the display and was causing a bubble on the instrument cluster. The contact stated that some of the instrument gauges were blurred out due to the failure. The contact had not taken the RV to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

Related to NHTSA Campaign number 22V273000 - Tiffin used Lippert Hydraulic parts for the 3 slideouts on our unit. two of the slideouts creep out on their own several inches. Tiffin tried to repair in January, 2024 but it has become worse since then. After contacting Tiffin, they sent us to Lippert which we have opened a case with them. Lippert continues to tell us that they know what the problem is but is not able to get the parts needed to fix this issue. This is a safety issue with slide outs creeping on their own while driving down the road. Tiffin continues to rollout vehicles with this issue.

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.

The four slides are powered by Lippert hydraulics. These slides malfunction and drift out on their own without any warning. This obviously poses a danger while the vehicle is being driven as well as when it is parked. Many people have had "repairs" completed by Lippert multiple times without a permanent fix since the slide drift recurs. We are personally currently awaiting repair by Lippert. However, as stated, a permanent solution has apparently not been instituted since virtually all parties report recurrent slide drift after "repair". Since Lippert assigns a case number and attempts fixes, the company is aware. Tiffin is also aware and refers owners to Lippert. Please link to NHTSA Campaign number 22V273000. It is imperative that a permanent solution be instituted as quickly as possible for all affected vehicles due to the obvious dangers drifting slides can cause.

The contact owns a 2021 Tiffin Allegro RV built on a 2020 Ford F-53 Chassis. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle experienced an unexpected transmission downshift to first gear and the rear wheels locked up, causing the vehicle to skid. The contact immediately shifted into neutral(N), and the vehicle stopped skidding. The contact then shifted to drive(D) and continued driving. The contact stated that after the failure, the vehicle started making an abnormal sound while driving. The vehicle was taken to the Ford dealer, where the axle bearings were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a second dealer, Hemborg Ford (1900 Hamner Ave, Norco, CA 92860), where it was determined that the rear third member needed to be replaced. The dealer was awaiting the part arrival. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown transmission recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 9,300.

The contact owns a 2021 Tiffin Allegro Open Road RV built on a 2020 Ford Chassis.

During the failure, the check engine warning light illuminated and was flashing. The contact examined the engine and discovered that the spark plug wire was faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact replaced the spark plug wire and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.

Vehicle has the slide creep issue, Tiffin and the dealership were aware of this issue on the 34PA model and did not disclose it to me when purchased. Vehicle has been at dealership since November 2023 and is still there with no resolve.

Purchased this RV motorhome in December 2021. From day 1 of this purchase, I have experienced what is being called the "creepy slide syndrome". When the motorhome is parked on in motion, the two hydraulic slides will creep (extend) out about 2-4 inches and at times have been extended as far as 6 inches. Have had more than 5 service repairs, including one national recall performed and the problem still exists. Been in contact with both Tiffin, the manufacturer and Lippert, the hydraulic system manufacturer and there continuing, in my opinion, to kick the can down the road. Currently, they are saying there is a fix but no one can actually verify that is the case. Others who own Tiffin motorhomes continue to report the same problem. I filed a compliant several months ago but never heard anything further. There needs to be a second recall on this problem so that customers do not have to worry about safety issues and also so that customers do not continue to have to continue to have service appointments, at our expense, and continue to have the same problem.
