Defect
Tiffin is recalling 329 my 2008-2009 allegro buses. The rear axle ABS modulating valve have the potential to be wired incorrectly. The right and left modulator valve harness pin could possibly be reversed at the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) connector.
Safety risk
Under slippery road conditions, when in the ABS mode, this wiring problem has the potential to cause one side of the rear wheels to lock while causing little or no braking effort on the opposite side. This may result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the reversed pins from the ECU connector and insert them back into their correct position free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact tiffin at 256-356-8661.
