What's wrong?
The valve stem extender on the 2021 Tiffin Phaeton is the part that makes the tire valve easier to reach for checking or adding air. The valve stem is the tire's air access point. A stabilizer holds the extender in place so it stays clear of the wheel while the motorhome is moving.
On affected Phaeton motorhomes, the hole in the wheel for that stabilizer is too large. Because the stabilizer does not fit tightly, it can loosen and let the valve stem extender contact the wheel. That contact can damage the valve stem area and lead to a rapid loss of tire pressure.
The warning sign is a tire pressure monitoring system alarm flashing on the dash for low tire pressure. If that warning appears, treat it as a tire-pressure problem and have the vehicle checked before continuing to drive.
