Summary

In january 2005, tiffin issued a service bulletin (unnumbered) entitled ?service bulletin for potential movement of washer/dryer.?the bulletin addressed the possibility that the washer and dryer could move unexpectedly while the motorhome is being driven.during discussions with tiffin, odi learned that two incidents had been reported where the washer and dryer fell or tipped over into the living space.on april 7th, 2005, tiffin notified odi that after further review, they had decided that this issue should be resolved by conducting a safety recall campaign and subsequently filed safety recall 05v-145 (copy attached). Tiffan will be installing a kit that prevents the movement of the washer and dryer assembly. This action resolves the issues raised by this investigation. This investigation is closed.
