The moisture problem was causing the circuit board in the led light to short out and the power circuit had a 10 amp fuse in it. The results in some cases was a fire or melting of the clearance light, which produced smoke inside the motorhome. The led lights used are made by Command. The fix added a 1 amp fuse to the wire supplying power to the cap mounted clearance lights so it would blow if any of the cap clearance lights developed a problem. Not a fix of the real problem, but it prevents a fire.

Our 2011 Phaeton has led clearance lights. Due to water getting into the clearance lights, Tiffin had a recall where a fuse was added as stated in the above post. This recall was sent to all Tiffin owners with coaches that had the problem. Recall included instructions and the fuse assembly to add to the front and rear clearance lights. We received the recall notice and fuses and installed them. I can say that the sealant used does not keep the water out of the lights. We replaced all our lights, and sealed the back of the Command Clearance lights with Clear Pro Seal and this has seemed to fix the problem so far. All ten of our clearance lights had moisture in them.
