2012 Tiffin Phaeton recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Tiffin motorhomes (tiffin) is recalling two model year 2012 Phaeton recreational vehicles built on a spartan chassis and equipped with 3030 brake chambers. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 121, air brake systems because they do not meet the park brake and draw bar requirements.
💥 The risk
The park brake may not be sufficient to hold the vehicle in place. Accordingly, the vehicle could roll away and strike and injure a bystander or cause a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
The affected vehicles have not been sold yet and tiffin has notified the dealers that are in possession of the vehicles. Spartan dealers will install improved brake chambers prior to sale. Owners may contact tiffin motorhomes at 1-256-356-8661.
