2020: “The anti-roll bar screws are coming loose and falling out. This causes the vehicle to roll dangerously and could result in a loss of control. The design appears to put a rotating force on the screw which loosens the nut. Eventually, the nut falls off and the screw works it's way out of the connection between the downlink and the anti-roll (sway) bar.”
NHTSA complaint #11311917, filed 2020-02, 8,500 miles2021: “The Tiffin Wayfarer is built on a MB Sprinter 3500 chassis. Tiffin adds rear wheelwell liners made of plastic. These liners are held onto the chassis by 4 screws all on the outside of the liner. There is no inside support of the liner or reinforcement of the screws. My right side liner detached while traveling on I-81 in PA at 65 mph. It went under the wheels which caused the vehicle to bounce and it acted like a blow-out. I pulled over and could see no significant damage and there were no warning lights so we kept traveling. …”
