2016 FCCC XBR Complaints and Recall Information
The 2016 FCCC XBR has 0 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to steering and electrical systems based on recall data.
There are seven recalls involving the 2016 FCCC XBR, addressing defects primarily in steering components, braking, and exterior lighting systems. These recalls affect critical vehicle functions such as power steering, brake signals, and rear lighting, all of which impact safety.
Recalls- Steering power hose. Recall 16V809000 affects 1,827 vehicles. Power steering hose may be routed incorrectly, causing it to rub against the starter motor and potentially lead to electrical arcing and a power steering fluid leak. This defect increases the risk of fire. Dealers reroute the hose at no cost. The recall started December 27, 2016.
- Expanded steering hose recall. Recall 18V163000 affects 9,480 vehicles. It expands on Recall 16V809000 to include model years 2011–2017. The same incorrect hose routing may cause electrical arcing and fluid leakage, risking fire. Dealers will reroute the hose free of charge. Recall began May 2018.
- Rear lighting malfunction. Recall 18V582000 covers 12,311 vehicles. The rear Power Distribution Module (PDM) may be damaged, causing rear marker lights, brake lights, or turn signals to fail. Nonfunctioning lights increase crash risk. Remedy is under development; interim notice issued October 24, 2018. Recall began May 29, 2019.
- Brake activation signal defect. Recall 16V204000 affects 2,989 vehicles. Brake activation to towed devices may stay engaged after releasing service brakes, causing dragging brakes, overheating, or fire. This also raises crash risk as following drivers may be confused. Dealers will modify brake assemblies free of charge. Recall began June 6, 2016.
- Steering box failure. Recall 16V366000 includes 1,385 vehicles and carries a Do Not Drive advisory. Incorrect internal spacers in Bosch steering boxes may cause premature wear, risking sudden loss of steering control and increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and replace faulty boxes at no charge. Owners should not drive vehicles until inspected. Recall began May 31, 2016.
Owners with repeated or unresolved safety defects, including those related to the recalls outlined here, may have rights under their state’s lemon law.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017 Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation (FCCC) XBR, XCL, XCM, and XCR recreational vehicle chassis, equipped with Cummins ISL engines. The power steering hose on the affected vehicles may be routed incorrectly, and, as a result, the hose may rub against the power stud on the starter motor, possibly causing electrical arcing and a power steering fluid leak.
Risk: Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
Daimler Trucks North America, LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 FCCC XBR, XCL, XCM, and XCR recreational vehicle chassis manufactured January 1, 2016, to October 12, 2016, equipped with Cummins ISL engines. The power steering hose on the affected vehicles may be routed incorrectly, and, as a result, the hose may rub against the power stud on the starter motor, possibly causing electrical arcing and a power steering fluid leak.
Risk: Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.

STEERING
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 FCCC XBP, XBR, XCM, XCR, XCL, and XCP trucks manufactured May 1, 2014, to June 16, 2015, equipped with certain ZF RL77 / 80EM independent front steering axles equipped with Bosch 8018 steering boxes. The boxes were manufactured using incorrect internal spacers that can cause premature wear in the connection between the steering wheel and the front axle.
Risk: The steering wheel's connection to the front axle could fail resulting in a sudden loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 FCC XCS, XCM, XCR, XCL, XCP, XBS, XBR, and XBP trucks manufactured from January 7, 2013, through June 1, 2015. On certain motorhome chassis built with a heavier, adjustable, offset, foot pedal, the brake activation signal to certain towed devices may not deactivate when the motorhome service brakes are released.
Risk: If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
