Description

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017-2019 FCCC MC motorhome chassis. The primary air line was incorrectly connected to the secondary air pressure gauge and the secondary air line was connected to the primary air pressure gauge. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems." In the event of a failure of one of the two air systems, an incorrect air pressure reading may occur, confusing the driver, therefore increasing the risk of a crash.
