Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2013-2016 Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation motorhome chassis (models XCM, XCR, and XCL) manufactured between December 21, 2012, and December 22, 2015. Specifically affected are chassis equipped with a heavier, adjustable, straight foot pedal. The issue involves a brake activation signal to towed devices that may not deactivate when the motorhome's service brakes are released.
When this fault occurs, the brakes on towed devices may remain engaged and drag, potentially causing them to overheat and catch fire. This defect also risks confusing following drivers, which could increase the likelihood of a crash. Dealers will modify the affected brake assemblies free of charge. Owners should contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 and reference recall number FL-723 to arrange service.
