TIFFIN issued a recall on the PHAETON model
Published: March 22, 2017Recall ID: 2017163Category: generalCountry: Canada
Product Description & Identification
On certain vehicles built on a Powerglide chassis, insufficient clearance exists between the exhaust pipe and the floor. This could cause the floor insulation to melt and make the floor area above the engine extremely hot, increasing the risk of personal injury or possibly resulting in a fire. Correction: Dealers will install a revised exhaust configuration to increase clearance. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2015-565.
