For the 2005 Tiffin Zephyr. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Tiffin been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Tiffin dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

July 5, 2005NHTSA 05V307000265 vehicles potentially affected

Electrical system

Summary
On certain motor homes containing a 50 amp transfer switch built by intellitec, the material used for the wire lugs was changed from nickel plated to copper lugs. The copper lugs are softer than the nickel plated and do not retain the torque of the screw that clamps the wire connector.
Consequence
When the torque is relaxed, the lugs can become loose resulting in excessive heat within the connected wire that could result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the changeover box. The recall began on July 21, 2005. Owners may contact tiffin at 1-256-356-8661.
