IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
See enclosed VIN List
Subject: FCCC Motorhome Valve Stem Stabilizers
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA), on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists on specific Freightliner Custom Chassis X-Line motorhome chassis manufactured November 2, 2016, through January 10, 2018, and equipped with a single drive axle.
Certain chassis may have been built with an incorrect valve stem stabilizer. It may become dislodged from the wheel, allowing the valve stem extension of the inner wheel to contact the outer wheel, potentially damaging the valve stem and resulting in a loss of air pressure in the inner tire. A loss of air pressure in the inner tire on a motorhome with a single drive axle may overload the outer tire and increase the risk of a crash.
The inner wheel valve stem stabilizers will be replaced with the correct valve stem stabilizer and wheels will be replaced if needed.
