NHTSA received Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.’s report on Dec 28, 2015. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
Unstable entry and exit steps increase the risk of injury.
Tiffin Motorhomes (Tiffin) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 motorhomes manufactured May 1, 2007, to December 31, 2014, equipped with certain Coachstep Double and Triple Electric Steps.
The bolt that attaches the fan gear assembly to the steps may fracture allowing the fan gear to disengage from the steps.
As a result, the steps may not remain in the expected position and may become unstable.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
