NHTSA recall 16V327000 · announced May 19, 2016 · filed by Daimler Trucks North America Llc · 727 units affected

The problem

Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 FCCC XCR chassis manufactured May 12, 2014, to December 10, 2015. The incomplete vehicle document (IVD) labels incorrectly list the tire pressures as 130 psi in the steer and tag axle positions rather than the correct rating of 120psi.

The risk

If the tire is inflated to the incorrect PSI on the label, the rims may suddenly fail due to being over pressurized, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

DTNA notified the only purchaser of the affected chassis and provided them with corrected IVD labels, free of charge. DTNA will not notify the motorhome owners directly. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-710.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
