2006 Tiffin Zephyr recalls
Recall 09V-069: Trailer Hitches
Problem: Tiffin is recalling 1,408 my 2006-2009 allegro bus, my 2007-2009 phaeton and my 2005-2009 zephyr vehicles built on spartan chassis and equipped with putman hitches. Certain trailer hitches may fracture which could result in the loss of the trailer.
Risk: Suspect hitches may develop fractures and subsequent separation may occur, resulting in a vehicle crash, property damage or pedestrian harm.
Fix: Tiffin is working with spartan and spartan is handling the remedy for this campaign (Please see 08v-567). The trailer hitch will be replaced free of charge. Owners may contact spartan at 1-517-543-6400 or tiffin at 256-356-8661.

The refrigerator 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.
Risk: Release of coolant under certain conditions could ignite and result in a fire.
Fix: Tiffin will be working with dometic in order to repair these refrigerators (Please see 08e032).
