Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2001: “2001 Allegro rv with workhorse w22 chassis. Brake dragging issue. Drove through a small town at about 35 MPH where I had to stop at three stop lights. After leaving the town at about 50 MPH I smelled a brake burning smell coming from the rear of the vehicle. Stopped and discovered that the right rear brakes were smoking. Stopped for about 30 minutes until I could touch the brake disks with my hand and resumed travel. After about 10 minutes the brakes were smoking again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10448026, filed 2012-02, 10,000 miles2016: “There are a total of 18 vertical posts (square steel tube) that conect and suspend the coach floor frame approximately 1.5 inches above the chassis rails. Per Tiffin service representatives, these posts are to be welded to the chassis on both sides where the square steel tube interfaces the chassis rail by approximately 2 inches. On 1/15/18, I performed an inspection of these welds based on many documented cases from other Tiffin Allegro owners of failed house-to-chassis welds, and I found all 18 posts welded on only one side and one failed weld that had a complete full-length crack. …”
NHTSA complaint #11065976, filed 2018-01, 6,500 miles2002: “Workhorse chassis automatic parking brake locked without warning and without pulling the auxiliary button. Would not release and I had to go under the vehicle and disconnect it. (there is no transmission lock so the vehicle can roll and has to be blocked.) fortunately I was not at speed but the repair shop advised this has happened to a customer at highway speed; causing many thousands damage.”
