2025 Tiffin Zephyr

Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

TriMark brought to Tiffin’s attention that on certain 2025 and 2026 Allegro Breeze; 2025 and 2026 Allegro Bus; 2025 and 2026 Allegro RED 360; 2025 and 2026 Byway; 2025 and 2026 Phaeton; 2025 and 2026 Zephyr Motorhomes that are equipped with PTL entry doors with a TriMark entry lock, owners may experience a lock out situation. TriMark has notified Tiffin Motorhomes that there is a possible condition where the exterior entrance door handle mechanism can bypass the inside linkage causing a lock-out situation whereby the door cannot be opened from the exterior handle. TriMark is replacing all involved entry door inside handle assemblies with new inside handle assembles. PTL Engineering states these locks are installed in entry doors with a serial number #068849 through #072552.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Tiffin sent out an addendum to be added to Owner's Manuals that states, "Tiffin Motorhomes recommends that all diesel units be refueled using standard automotive-grade diesel fuel pumps, rather than high-flow commercial truck stop pumps. The fuel delivery rate from commercial truck stop pumps is often too aggressive for motorhome fuel systems, which are not designed to handle rapid fuel intake. Using high-flow commercial truck stop pumps can result in overflow, spillage, premature shutoff, or even damage to the fuel fill components."

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Stopped using the lights we had been using due to expense. Replaced with these, but these new lights have to be wired in instead of just clicking in. These are the instructions to wire in.

MCD-006

Tiffin sent out letter asking customer to please review the enclosed information for the proper operation of the Starlink System in their Tiffin Motorhome. And after reviewing the information, to add it to their Owner's Manual for future reference.

SB-75

It has come to our attention that on certain Tiffin motorhomes equipped with optional Go Power! solar panel solar panels systems, the 30A inline fuse located before the cable entry plate should be removed. The plastic housing surrounding the fuse may become heat damaged from heat generated by the normal operation of the 30A fuse, which would cause the solar panel system to not operate as designed. Due to updated recommendations from Go Power!, Tiffin Motorhomes is removing this 30A fuse from the solar panel system.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
