2015 FCCC XCP; 2016 FCCC XCP; 2014 FCCC XCP
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2014-2016 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCP chassis used in motor home applications that were manufactured between April 26, 2013, and January 15, 2015. These vehicles may have power steering fluid that reaches temperatures exceeding the hose material's rated limits, causing the hose to fail and result in sudden loss of power steering fluid and assist, making the vehicle significantly harder to steer at low speeds and increasing crash risk.
To remedy the defect, dealers will replace the affected power steering hose with one that has a higher temperature rating at no cost to owners. Owners should contact Daimler Trucks North America customer service at 1-800-547-0712, referencing recall number FL-702, to arrange the replacement. The recall notifications began July 22, 2016.
