Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc. has issued a new safety recall affecting certain 2026 Tiffin Open Trail recreational vehicles. While this recall does not involve a mechanical failure, it still raises serious safety concerns that RV owners should not brush off.
Recall Overview
- NHTSA Recall ID: 25V799
- Manufacturer: Tiffin Motorhomes, Inc.
- Affected Model: Tiffin Open Trail
- Model Year: 2026
- Issue: Incorrect Cargo Carrying Capacity listed on the OCCC label
- Federal Standard: FMVSS No. 120 (Tire and Loading Information)
According to NHTSA, the Occupant and Cargo Carrying Capacity (OCCC) label on affected RVs lists incorrect weight information, meaning owners may unknowingly overload their vehicle.
Why Incorrect OCCC Labels Are a Serious Problem
Cargo carrying capacity isn’t a suggestion — it’s a critical safety limit. When that number is wrong, RV owners are put at risk without even realizing it.
Overloading an RV can lead to:
- Tire failures and blowouts
- Reduced braking performance
- Loss of vehicle control
- Premature suspension and axle damage
- Increased accident risk
In short, an inaccurate OCCC label can turn an otherwise solid RV into a rolling hazard.
What Owners Should Do Immediately
If you own a 2026 Tiffin Open Trail, you should:
- Confirm whether your VIN is included in Recall 25V799
- Contact Tiffin or your authorized dealer regarding a corrected OCCC label
- Avoid loading near maximum capacity until the issue is resolved
- Document everything — emails, repair visits, and any delays
Even “simple” fixes like label corrections can sometimes drag on far longer than they should.
