2018–2019 Freightliner XCS recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Freightliner Custom Chassis (FCCC) XCS motorhome chassis equipped with wheels that have Freightliner-logo shaped holes. These wheels have a valve stem stabilizer that may dislodge and damage the valve stem.
💥 The risk
Valve stem damage can result in loss of air pressure in the inner tire, causing an overload of the outer tire and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the inner wheel valve stem stabilizer and replace it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 31, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-764.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
