Daimler Trucks North America Llc
NHTSA Campaign: 17V450000 SAFETY RECALL
74 Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Jul 19, 2017
Safety Issue:

Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Freightliner 122SD trucks, Western Star 4900 and 6900 trucks, and Freightliner Custom Chassis XCM and XCP chassis equipped with Cummins ISX15 engines. The affected engines have a fuel pump whose drive gear may slip on its drive shaft, resulting in a loss of fuel pump function.

Potential Risk:
Failure of the fuel pump will result in a sudden engine stall with no warning, and with no ability to restart, increasing the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Cummins will send notices to the owners of the affected vehicles and Cummins dealers will replace the fuel pumps, free of charge. The recall began on September 11, 2017. Owners may contact Cummins customer service at 1-800-286-6467 or DTNA customer service at 1-800-745-8000. DTNA's number for this recall is FL744.

Defect Description:

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2018 Freightliner XC-R Raised Rail Rear Engine Motor Home Chassis. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the rear wheels were moving in the opposite direction other than what was intended. Due to the failure, the contact needed assistance from another person outside the RV to safely maneuver the RV while reversing into a parking spot. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to drop the tag axle which would lift the weight off the axle, allowing the RV to operate as needed while in reverse(R). Despite the manufacturer's instructions, the failure persisted. The RV was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,500.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The dashboard on this has turned a very bright LIME GREEN. It is very hard to drive this at night because it is severely blinding to see the road. I have contacted Freightliner and Winnebago and I keep getting the run around. This happened when this was still under warrantee and I have been trying to get someone to help me.

TIRES

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2018 FREIGHTLINER XCM. The contact stated that the valve stem stabilizers on the driver’s and passenger’s side rear tires would dislodge without warning. The contact stated that each time he noticed that the valve stems had dislodged, he would manually adjust the valve stem stabilizers back in place. The contact had taken his motorhome to a dealer for a separate issue and was informed of a recall for NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V194000 (Tires) which was linked to the valve stem stabilizer failure. Upon leaving the dealer, the contact was informed that the recall was performed; however, the contact noticed that the valve stems were dislodged again once he returned home. Over time, the contact stated that the valve stem stabilizer on the passenger’s side rear tire had rubbed against the rim which caused the tire to run flat. The contact had the tire replaced by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that because a modification was made to the vehicle, they would not repair the vehicle under the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,200.
