The problem
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 FCCC XBR, XCL, XCM, and XCR recreational vehicle chassis manufactured January 1, 2016, to October 12, 2016, 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.
The risk
Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will reroute the power steering hose to provide proper clearance, free of charge. The recall began on December 27, 2016. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 . DTNA's number for this recall is FL-727.
