Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a cummins epa 2010 isl engine. Insufficient shielding between the exhaust pipe and floor may cause possible overheating of the floor above the engine compartment.

Why it matters: If the exhaust pipe in the engine compartment were to fail, the escaping exhaust gases could make the floor area above the engine extremely hot, increasing the risk of personal injury or possibly resulting in a fire.

The fix: Tiffin motorhomes will notify owners, and dealers will install a heat shield, free of charge. The safety recall began on November 14, 2012.
