Issued by Daimler Trucks North America LLC · Reported Mar 12, 2018 · 9,480 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017 Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) XBR, XCL, XCM, and XCR recreational vehicle chassis, equipped with Cummins ISL engines. The power steering hose on the affected vehicles may be routed incorrectly, and, as a result, the hose may rub against the power stud on the starter motor, possibly causing electrical arcing and a power steering fluid leak.

Consequence

Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.

Remedy

DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the power steering hose to provide proper clearance, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on May 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 . DTNA's number for this recall is FL-762. Note: This recall is an expansion of 16V-809.
