What's wrong?
The front sway bar on 2014-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xbs, Xcr, Xcs, and Xcm motorhome chassis is a metal bar that links the left and right sides of the front suspension. It helps limit body roll and keeps the chassis steadier when the coach turns or moves over uneven pavement. The mounting brackets hold that bar to the Detroit front axle, and the bolts keep the brackets clamped in place.
On affected chassis, the mounting brackets do not fit the axle properly. That poor fit puts bending force on the mounting bolts, so the bolts bend or work loose instead of holding the sway bar firmly. Once the bar is no longer secured as designed, the front suspension loses part of the control the bar is meant to provide.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not told to expect a dashboard light, sound, or handling symptom before a bracket bolt bends, loosens, or breaks.
