What's wrong?
The tire valve on 2014-2016 Renegade Villagio and Vienna motorhomes is the small air fitting used to check pressure and add air. On the rear dual-wheel setup, an extension brings the inner tire's valve out where a person can reach it. That extension has to stay tight so the tire holds air after service.
On affected motorhomes, checking or filling the rear inner tires can loosen the valve stem extension. Once the extension is loose, air escapes slowly from the tire. The problem was found during production pressure checks, when inner rear tires showed random low air pressure.
There is no warning sign before failure. The owner first notices the problem when the tire pressure reads low, the tire looks underinflated, or handling feels different after air has leaked out. A Renegade dealer replaces the valve stem extensions so the inner rear tires hold pressure as intended.
