What's wrong?
The air compressor on 2016-2017 Tiffin Breeze and Allegro Breeze motorhomes is mounted to the engine and supplies compressed air for systems that depend on air pressure, including the conventional air parking brake. As the engine runs, the compressor pulls in air through an intake tube, compresses it, and helps build the pressure needed for the air-operated brake system to work as designed.
On affected motorhomes, debris from manufacturing was left inside the air intake tube. The supplier did not properly clean the tubes after manufacture, so foreign material can be drawn into the compressor. That contamination can damage the compressor or stop it from building pressure. A visual comparison is not enough because the intake system has to be inspected to see whether debris is present.
The warning sign is straightforward: the air compressor will not build air. If the pressure does not build, the air-operated parking brake system is not getting the air supply it needs.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorhome is included.
What's the safety risk?
An air compressor failure can keep the system from maintaining air pressure while the vehicle is moving. That loss of pressure can set the parking brake unexpectedly and increase crash risk. If the compressor will not build air, stop and call the dealer before the trip continues. Repair is free at any franchised Tiffin dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Tiffin dealer to schedule the free air-compressor inspection and air-intake repair that protects air pressure for the parking brake system.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, the Tiffin service team has a Cummins certified technician inspect the engine air compressor for debris. If the engine has no damage, the repair is a new air intake tube. If foreign material damaged the engine, the technician repairs the engine and replaces the air intake tube, charge air cooler, and air filter. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Tiffin has a general reimbursement plan on file for documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this issue, so bring prior repair paperwork to the service desk.
