Tiffin is recalling 2016-2017 Breeze motorhomes because air compressor debris may cause the parking brake to set unexpectedly, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component failure can cause the parking brake to set unexpectedly while driving, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Breeze and Allegro Breeze motorhomes manufactured between July 7, 2015, and June 14, 2016. The recall involves 67 vehicles where air compressors attached to the engine may fail due to manufacturing debris left in the air intake tube.

If the air compressor fails, the vehicle may be unable to maintain air pressure while driving. This loss of pressure can cause the parking brake to set unexpectedly, which increases the risk of a crash.

Tiffin will notify owners, and Cummins certified technicians will inspect the air compressor for debris. Engines with no damage will have a new air intake tube installed, while damaged engines will have the air intake tube, charge air cooler, and air filter replaced. These repairs are free of charge. Owners may contact Tiffin customer service at 1-256-356-8661 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
