What is wrong
Daimler Trucks North America LLC (DTNA) is recalling certain 2017-2019 FCCC MC motorhome chassis. The primary air line was incorrectly connected to the secondary air pressure gauge and the secondary air line was connected to the primary air pressure gauge. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
What can happen
In the event of a failure of one of the two air systems, an incorrect air pressure reading may occur, confusing the driver, therefore increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DTNA will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air gauge lines for proper connection, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 2, 2018. Owners may contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712. DTNA's number for this recall is FL-793.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
