2013 TIFFIN ZEPHYR; 2011 TIFFIN PHAETON; 2012 TIFFIN PHAETON
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Tiffin Motorhomes is recalling certain 2011, 2012, and 2013 Phaeton and Zephyr recreational vehicles equipped with Cummins ISB, ISC, ISL, or ISX diesel engines. The V-band clamp assembly that connects parts of the diesel emission control system can fail because the T-bolt may fracture under stress or load. If the clamp fails and the inlet or outlet sections disconnect, hot exhaust gases can vent before exiting the tailpipe, creating a risk of combustion and fire. In some cases, if both clamps fail, the entire diesel oxidation catalyst/diesel particulate filter housing may detach completely, creating a road hazard.
Tiffin is working with Cummins to identify and notify affected owners. Authorized Cummins dealers will perform repairs free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Cummins at 1-812-377-5000 or Tiffin at 256-356-8661.
