Recall 16V321 covers 2,275 2012-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, and Xcr chassis for throttle pedal sensor failure. Free repair at any franchised Fccc dealer.
Fccc is recalling 2,275 2012-2015 Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, and Xcr motorhome chassis under recall 16V321 because the throttle pedal position sensor can fail to return to zero. When that happens, the engine brake can suddenly stop activating as expected, reducing deceleration ability and increasing crash risk; Fccc dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The throttle pedal position sensor on these 2012-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, and Xcr motorhome chassis tells the engine controls where the accelerator pedal is. When the pedal is released, the sensor is supposed to return to zero so the vehicle knows the driver is no longer asking for power. That signal also helps the engine brake work as expected, which uses engine resistance to slow the motorhome.
On affected chassis, the sensor can fail to return to zero after the pedal is released. The engine controls still read the pedal as partly applied, so the engine brake does not activate when the driver expects it. The motorhome loses that added slowing force, which reduces deceleration ability.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign can be that the engine brake suddenly does not slow the motorhome as expected after the accelerator pedal is released.

What's the safety risk?
A sudden loss of engine braking can reduce braking ability and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before failure, so schedule the recall repair soon and use extra care until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Fccc dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, or Xcr motorhome chassis is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Fccc dealer to schedule the free throttle-pedal replacement that addresses the engine-brake deceleration problem.
- Bring the recall notice if Fccc mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V321 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra stopping distance and avoid relying on the engine brake alone.
What happens at the repair
At an Fccc authorized service facility, a technician replaces the throttle pedal assembly covered by recall 16V321. The repair addresses a throttle pedal position sensor that can fail to return to zero, which can keep the engine brake from activating as expected and reduce deceleration. Parts and labor are covered by the recall. Schedule the service through an Fccc authorized service facility and ask the service desk to reference recall FL-711.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 16V321?
Recall 16V321 covers 2,275 2012-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, and Xcr motorhome chassis with a throttle pedal position sensor that does not return to zero. That defect can stop the engine brake from activating as expected and reduce braking ability.
What should I do if my 2012-2015 Fccc Xcl, Xcp, Xcm, or Xcr is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific motorhome chassis is included in recall 16V321. If it is, contact a franchised Fccc dealer to schedule the throttle pedal replacement. Reference recall number 16V321 or DTNA recall number FL-711 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and DTNA says dealers will replace the throttle pedal free of charge. Parts and labor are covered at a franchised Fccc dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced braking ability if the engine brake does not activate as expected. On a motorhome, sudden engine brake loss without warning increases crash risk. Confirm your VIN, then arrange the free throttle pedal replacement if your chassis is included.
What warning signs should I watch for?
There is no warning sign before the sudden engine brake loss described in recall 16V321. The throttle pedal position sensor fails to return to zero, and the engine brake does not activate as expected. Use the VIN check to confirm whether your chassis is included.
