Chronology of events

1. Nov 13, 2025

   11/13/2025 The Product Manager for the Open Trail product emailed Compliance about an issue with the OCCC label. He informed Compliance that during a routine OCCC data analysis for product design, he noticed several motorhomes had an incorrect OCCC weight listed. Compliance then verified the findings and also found that for a period of time in September, the weight scales at Tiffin's Winfield production facility were down for repairs. During that time, these motorhomes were weighed at a local truck scale. The weights were manually entered into the labeling system and those weights were not entered correctly. 11/17/2025 A Tiffin Field Service Technician inspected one of the involved motorhomes to verify the accuracy of the OCCC label. He took pictures which confirmed that the OCCC label was incorrect by overstating the amount of cargo that can be loaded in the motorhome.
