What owners report
The RV currently is sitting at MB of Modesto where it can be inspected. The issue, when we attempted to rotate the rotatable front passenger seat, and an Airbag error was displayed on the dash and the vehicle was disabled, would not start. When we rotated the seat back we assumed it took pressure off of the wiring harness and the error disappeared and the vehicle started. We tried to rotate the seat back to its secure position but wires had become tangled under the seat and we could not secure the seat. We wanted to drive the RV to MB of Modesto but were concerned the airbag might deploy and disable the RV while we were driving. We decided to have the RV towed to Mercedes of Modesto. W

During a cross country trip, failure of tire valve extender, resulted in loss of tire pressure. This sudden loss of pressure could have resulted in a vehicle highway accident. This problem occurred twice (each incident within 2 hours of each other). Our RV, has dual rear tires, and was not detected until we stopped for fuel. We did not receive an alert from the tire pressure sensor that pressure was lost. The first failure was detected when we stopped for gas and noticed the right rear, outside tire was severely damaged/flat. Fortunately, the inside tire was undamaged and prevented loss of control of the RV on the highway. We had a service repair company replace the tire. During the
Traveling on I 25 construction on highway created lots of bumps. The water tank mounted near rear of motor home ripped free of its mounting bolts and dropped down, only thing keeping it from completely falling off was the generator exhaust pipe which was underneath the tank. This also tore the support strap off the exhaust pipe. The water tank is mounted in an aluminum casing with a flange with bolts attached to frame. Called Tiffin and was told they were aware of this problem and could send us some straps to support tank until we could get it to a service shop. Representive from Tiffin said they had made changes to model for 2021 to address this problem. The mobile repair person who
THE ANTI-ROLL BAR SCREWS ARE COMING LOOSE AND FALLING OUT. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ROLL DANGEROUSLY AND COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DESIGN APPEARS TO PUT A ROTATING FORCE ON THE SCREW WHICH LOOSENS THE NUT. EVENTUALLY, THE NUT FALLS OFF AND THE SCREW WORKS IT'S WAY OUT OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DOWNLINK AND THE ANTI-ROLL (SWAY) BAR.
