EquipmentReported December 22, 2017 · 36,005 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. (Tiffin) is recalling certain 2009-2018 Allegro and Allegro RED, Bus and Phaeton vehicles, 2009-2010 Bay vehicles, 2011-2018 Breeze vehicles, and 2009-2015, and 2017-2018 Zephyr vehicles. These motorhomes are equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers that may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or excessive force may be needed to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit:
Risk

Cummins inc. Issued a field action, atc1747 to prevent pressurized engine fuel leaks. We received a letter from cummins dated july 28 2016 strongly encouraging cummins complimentary installation of fuel supply line isolators on #1 and #6 fuel injectors. Cummins is now saying that we didn't act on the offer quickly enough and they've retracted their offer to install the fuel supply line isolators at no charge. Our rv engine is still under cummins factory warranty with only 5,000 miles, and we have already had a serious pressurized fuel system leak at the fuel injectors, that was repaired under warranty. We want cummins to install the fuel supply line isolators to prevent a fire in our rv engine, while the engine is under warranty.

Driving west on interstate 80 in pennsylvania ran over a severe pothole then when pulling into a parking area noticed a loud air leak from the rear which rendered the vehicle undrivable. Read that others had this issue on the same vehicle and am concerned that this is an issue if the air pressure drops below 65psi the vehicle will come to a sudden stop endangering occupants and people/property surrounding the incident. The following is from an internet forum alerting other to the hazard "after calling freightliner directly they admitted they spec'ed the wrong airbags on the rear! So hopefully your dealer replace both sides with a new part loc# w0711f021 I think is the right number I have the tag but it has about 5 different #'s on it!
