2007 FCCC XC-F recalls
Recall 07V-343: Steering
Problem: Certain motor home chassis equipped with zf model 8018 steering gears may have been assembled with the incorrect recirculating ball spacer. This could potentially allow the recirculating balls to escape from the recirculating ball circuit resulting in a loss of steering.
Risk: The operator may notice higher required steering wheel inputs, or the need for more steering wheel adjustments while driving in a straight line in combination with metallic cracking noises prior to a loss of steering. Loss of steering could result in a vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the steering gear free of charge. Phase one of the recall began on january 30, 2008 for 1,392 vehicles. Expanded mailings are expected to begin on may 16, 2008. Owners may contact freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
Recall 07V-312: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain motor homes built with cummins isl cm850 diesel engines, the connecting rod contains a machining defect in the wrist pin bushing of the rod that could cause a seizure of the piston pin.
Risk: If allowed to progress, this can lead to engine failure with the possibility of the rod rupturing the lock cavity, oil and debris on the roadway and vehicle crash.
Fix: Freightliner is working with cummins to recalibrate the engine control module and enhance the engine protection system enabling it to provide early detection of the failure mode and avoid more serious engine damage and resultant safety hazard. Cummins will also install a new valve cover with a crankcase pressure sensor free of charge (Please see 07e033). Owners may contact cummins at 800-343-7357 or freightliner at 1-800-547-0712.
