Summary: 
TIFFIN
IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 THROUGH 2012 ALLEGRO MOTORHOMES
BUILT ON FORD F-53 AND F-59 STRIPPED CHASSIS. THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE MAY
BREAK AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SELECTOR ARM
ASSEMBLY MOUNTED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. IF THE CABLE BREAKS, THE
TRANSMISSION GEAR INDICATOR IN THE GEAR SHIFT DISPLAY IN THE INSTRUMENT
PANEL WILL REMAIN IN THE FIRST GEAR POSITION REGARDLESS OF THE GEAR
SELECTED.
Consequence: AN
INCORRECT GEAR INDICATION IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MAY PREVENT THE
DRIVER FROM KNOWING IF THEY ARE IN PARK OR REVERSE, INCREASING THE RISK
OF A CRASH.
Remedy: TIFFIN
IS WORKING WITH FORD TO IDENTIFY AND NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED
MOTORHOMES. FORD WILL REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR ARM ASSEMBLY
AND THE GEAR SHIFT CABLE ASSEMBLY
