Defect Description:
WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
In January 2022 Freightliner issued a recall# FL912A requesting that all Motorhomes from 2017 - 2023 have the rear inner tire valve stem be removed. What they didn’t tell you was by removing this valve stem it eliminated the Motorhome owners TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) which is a safety feature and also made the inflating/deflating of the inside rear tire nearly impossible for most RV owners. At the time of the recall I (and many others) were informed that their Engineering team was working on a better solution. It has been a year and Engineering has not developed a better solution and has basically shelved the work order. Removing the valve stem is not a legitimate solution, but has shifted all the liability from Freightliner to us Motorhome owners. Not have our TPMS system, nor being able to adjust our tire pressures easily is creating a safety hazard. I venture to guess that many owners have not implemented the recall and those that have are very unsatisfied. It’s time for the NHTSA to get involved and force the issue with Freightliner. The consumer stated he feels unsafe not having a tire pressure monitoring system in which was paid is a hazard on the highway.
