Tiffin Allegro Breeze Recall 16V562: Air compressor may fail, causing parking brake to engage while driving

NHTSA campaign 16V562, reported July 28, 2016, 67 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Debris left over from manufacturing may be in the air intake tube of the engine's air compressor. This can cause the compressor to fail, and the vehicle may then be unable to maintain air pressure while driving. When that happens, the parking brake can set unexpectedly, which increases the risk of a crash.

Certified Cummins technicians will inspect the air compressor for debris. Engines without damage will have a new air intake tube installed. Engines with foreign material damage will be repaired, and the air intake tube, charge air cooler, and air filter will be replaced. All repairs are free of charge.

Owners should contact Tiffin Motorhomes customer service at 1-256-356-8661, referencing recall TIF-101. Tiffin will notify affected owners directly, and you can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
