Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Insufficient spacing between the exhaust pipe and the floor may result in the insulation melting and an increased risk of a fire.
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
(Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Phaeton motorhomes built on Powerglide chassis with floor plans QBH, QKH, and QTH manufactured July 1, 2010, to August 1, 2011.
The affected vehicles have an exhaust pipe that is mounted too close to the underside of the floor.

What the record doesn’t say

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
