Recall 16V204 covers 2,989 2013-2016 Fccc motorhome chassis vehicles for a brake signal that stays active. Repair is free at any franchised Fccc dealer.
Fccc is recalling 2,989 2013-2016 Xbr, Xcp, Xcl, Xbs, Xcr, Xbp, Xcm, and Xcs motorhome chassis because a brake activation signal sent to certain towed devices can stay on after the chassis brakes are released. That can leave towed-device brakes dragging, which can cause overheating, fire, or driver confusion, and Fccc dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
On 2013-2016 Fccc Xbr, Xcp, Xcl, Xbs, Xcr, Xbp, Xcm, and Xcs motorhome chassis, the adjustable offset foot pedal is part of the service brake control. When the driver presses the pedal, it applies the motorhome brakes and sends a brake activation signal to certain towed devices. When the pedal is released, that signal is supposed to turn off.
On affected chassis built with the heavier adjustable foot pedal, a pedal assembly design change left the signal active after the motorhome service brakes were released. The brake system receives the driver's release input, but the electrical brake activation signal sent to a towed device does not shut off as designed. Fccc later released a pressure switch change and added a torsion spring to improve pedal return.
There is no warning sign before failure. A visible clue can be brake lights staying illuminated after the pedal is released or a towed device continuing to receive a brake command.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
When the brake activation signal stays on after the motorhome service brakes release, the towed device brakes can stay engaged on certain trailer brake setups. Dragging brakes can overheat and start a fire, and following drivers can misread the motorhome's movement, increasing crash risk. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Fccc dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2016 Fccc Xbr, Xcp, Xcl, Xbs, Xcr, Xbp, Xcm, or Xcs is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Fccc dealer to schedule the free brake-assembly modification that fixes the towed-device brake signal staying active after the motorhome service brakes are released.
- Bring the recall notice if Fccc mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V204 and Fccc recall FL-704 when you call.
- Avoid towing a device behind the motorhome until the repair is complete if its brake activation signal stays on after the service brakes are released.
What happens at the repair
At an Fccc authorized service facility, a Fccc technician modifies the affected brake assemblies tied to the motorhome service brake activation signal for towed devices. The work is meant to make the signal turn off when the motorhome service brakes are released. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are free under campaign 16V204. Contact an authorized service facility to confirm the vehicle is included before scheduling the brake assembly work.
