What's wrong?
The entry door latch and lock mechanism are supposed to hold the motorhome door closed after it is pulled fully into the frame. On 2018-2019 Tiffin Phaeton, Zephyr, Bus, Allegro Open Road, Allegro Red, and Breeze motorhomes, that mechanism works with a rubber bumper at the door edge, so the door closes firmly without extra resistance.
In this recall, the bolt in the lock mechanism was over-tightened during door assembly. That extra tension can keep the latch from seating as intended when the door is not fully shut, leaving the entry door easier to open while the motorhome is moving. Tiffin also identified the rubber bumper size as part of the closing resistance problem and sent a smaller bumper with the recall letter.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue depends on how the latch seats after closing, so a door that looks closed still needs the dealer adjustment and bumper change if the VIN is included.
