DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
Posted on: 2016-04-11
Description
Daimler trucks north america llc (dtna) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 fcc xcs, xcm, xcr, xcl, xcp, xbs, xbr, and xbp trucks manufactured from january 7, 2013, through june 1, 2015. On certain motorhome chassis built with a heavier, adjustable foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released.
Consequence
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Dtna will notify owners, and dealers will modify the affected brake assemblies, free of charge. The recall began on june 6, 2016. Owners may contact dtna customer service at 1-800-547-0712. Dtna's recall number for this campaign is fl-704.
