The problem
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.

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.
