16V-121 Open recall Mar 1, 2016

Daimler Trucks North America LLC

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:POWER STEERING FLUID

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Freightliner Custom Chassis XCP chassis manufactured from April 26, 2013, through January 15, 2015. The power steering fluid temperature may exceed the power steering hose material ratings on some rear engine chassis built with certain 18,000lb and 20,000lb-load capacity front axles used in motor home applications. This can cause the hose to fail, resulting in a sudden loss of power steering fluid and power assist.

Risk: Loss of power steering assist would result in increased difficulty to steer the vehicle in either direction at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power steering hose with a hose that has a higher temperature rating, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's recall number for this campaign is FL-702. The repair is free at any franchised dealer of your brand.
