What's wrong?
The tire valve stem extension on these 2017-2021 Fccc Mc, Xcm, Xcr, Xcl, and Xcs motorhome chassis lets someone reach the inner rear wheel valve for air-pressure checks. It is a small extension attached to the tire valve stem, with a stabilizer that holds it in position near the wheel opening. When it stays centered, the inner tire can be checked and filled without disturbing the wheel.
On affected chassis, the extension and stabilizer are paired with certain inner and outer wheel combinations. The extension can rub against the outer wheel rim opening while the vehicle is driven. That contact can damage the extension, move the stabilizer out of place, and let the inner tire lose pressure.
Owners can hear a rattling noise from the wheel area as the extension rubs the rim opening. A visual check during maintenance can show a loose stabilizer, damage to the stem extension or rim, or low pressure in the inner tire.

What's the safety risk?
Valve stem extension damage can cause the inner tire to lose pressure and increase the risk of a crash. If you hear rattling near the wheel opening or see low inner tire pressure during maintenance, schedule the inspection soon and drive cautiously until it is checked. Repair is free at any franchised Fccc dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017-2021 Fccc Mc, Xcm, Xcr, Xcl, or Xcs chassis is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Fccc dealer to schedule the free valve-stem inspection and repair.
- Schedule the inner wheel valve stem stabilizer adjustment or valve stem replacement that keeps the valve stem extension from contacting the outer wheel rim opening.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 20V529 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and pull over safely if tire pressure drops.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Fccc technician inspects the inner wheel valve stem stabilizers and adjusts them so the valve stem extension stays clear of the outer wheel rim opening. If that adjustment does not fix the contact problem, the inner valve stem is replaced. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Fccc uses its standard reimbursement plan for documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this valve stem issue. If you have prior repair paperwork, ask the service desk how to submit it.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 20V529?
Recall 20V529 covers 10,359 2017-2021 Fccc Mc, Xcm, Xcr, Xcl, and Xcs chassis with an inner-wheel tire valve stem extension that can contact the outer wheel rim opening and become damaged. Loss of inner tire pressure can increase crash risk.
What should I do if my 2017-2021 Fccc Mc, Xcm, Xcr, Xcl, Xcs is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific chassis is included in recall 20V529. If it is, contact a franchised Fccc dealer to schedule inspection of the inner wheel valve stem stabilizers. Reference recall number 20V529 or FL-861 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost. Fccc dealers will inspect the inner wheel valve stem stabilizers and adjust them as needed for free. If adjustment does not fix the issue, the inner valve stem will be replaced for free.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is loss of tire pressure in the inner wheel. If the valve stem extension is damaged enough, the tire can lose pressure and increase crash risk. The dealer inspection checks whether the stabilizer position needs adjustment or the inner valve stem needs replacement.
