NHTSA #18V-163

Subject: FCCC Motorhome Power Steering Hose Routing

Models Affected: Specific Freightliner Custom Chassis X-Line

chassis equipped with Cummins ISL engines and manufactured

January 21, 2010, through December 22, 2015.
General Information

Daimler Trucks North America LLC, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Freightliner Custom Chassis

Corporation, has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists on the vehicles mentioned

above.

There are approximately 10,234 vehicles involved in this campaign.

On certain motorhome chassis, the high pressure power steering hose may be routed with inadequate

clearance between the hose and a power stud on the starter motor. This may cause the hose to chafe against

the power stud on the starter, potentially leading to arcing and, in addition, may cause loss of fluid, short circuit,

and melting. Electrical arcing in the presence of leaking power steering fluid can increase the risk of a fire.

The high pressure power steering hoses will be rerouted to provide adequate clearance from the starter stud.

Additional Repairs

Dealers must complete all outstanding Recall and Field Service campaigns prior to the sale or delivery of a

vehicle. A Dealer will be liable for any progressive damage that results from its failure to complete campaigns

before sale or delivery of a vehicle.

Owners may be liable for any progressive damage that results from failure to complete campaigns within a

reasonable time after receiving notification.
Work Instructions

Please refer to the attached work instructions. Prior to performing the campaign, check the vehicle for a

completion sticker (Form WAR260).
Replacement Parts

Replacement parts are now available and can be obtained by ordering the part number(s) listed below from

your facing Parts Distribution Center.

If our records show your dealership has ordered any vehicles involved in campaign number FL762, a list of the

Please note that the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended (Title 49, United States Code,

Chapter 301), requires the owner’s vehicle(s) be corrected within a reasonable time after parts are available to

you. The Act states that failure to repair a vehicle within 60 days after tender for repair shall be prima facie

evidence of an unreasonable time. However, circumstances of a particular situation may reduce the 60 day

period. Failure to repair a vehicle within a reasonable time can result in either the obligation to (a) replace the

vehicle with an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle, without charge, or (b) refund the purchase price in

full, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. The Act further prohibits dealers from selling a vehicle unless

all outstanding recalls are performed. Any lessor is required to send a copy of the recall notification to the

lessee within 10 days. Any subsequent stage manufacturer is required to forward this notice to its distributors

Work Instructions

Subject: FCCC Motorhome Power Steering Hose Routing

Models Affected: Specific Freightliner Custom Chassis X-Line

chassis equipped with Cummins ISL engines and manufactured

January 21, 2010, through December 22, 2015.
Power Steering Hose Inspection

1. Check the base label (Form WAR259) for a completion sticker for FL762 (Form WAR260) indicating this

work has been done. The base label is usually located on the front wall under the dash. If a sticker is present, no work is needed. If there is no sticker, proceed with the next step.
DANGER

When working on the vehicle, shut down the engine and set the parking brake. Before working under

the vehicle, always place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle can not drop. Failure to

follow these steps could result in serious personal injury or death.

2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, shut down the engine, and set the parking brake.

3. Using jacks, raise the vehicle.

4. Place jack stands under the frame rails to ensure the vehicle can not drop.

5. Disconnect the battery cables, or if so equipped, turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position.

6. Locate the power steering hose (between the pump and the front of the vehicle) then follow the routing to

the starter stud area.

6.1
If the power steering hose is held with a P-clip near the starter stud, no work is needed. See Fig. 1.

Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL762, on a completion

sticker (Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label.
6.2
If the power steering hose is not held with a P-clip near the starter stud and shows no signs of chaffing, cuts, or holes, go to the Power Steering Hose Orientation procedure below.
6.3
If the power steering hose is not held with a P-clip near the starter stud and shows signs of chaffing,

cuts, or holes, go to the Power Steering Hose Replacement procedure on page 7. Less than 1% of

vehicles are expected to need the hose replaced.
Power Steering Hose Orientation

1. Install a rail clip on the top flange of the frame rail, just above the starter.

2. Using a P-clip, bolt, nut, and washer, secure the power steering hose on the rail clip. See Fig. 1. Tighten

the nut 72 lbf·in (813 N·cm).

3. For additional security, install tie bands around the hose to the harness near the frame rail within 18 inches

(46 cm) of the P-clip.

4. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL762, on a completion sticker

(Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label.

Power Steering Hose Replacement

NOTE: Replacement of power steering hoses is per serial, please refer to PartsPro module 535/Steering

Plumbing for part numbers. Less than 1% of vehicles are expected to need the hose replaced.

1. Place a drain pan under the hydraulic pump.

2. At the hydraulic pump, loosen the high-pressure power steering line from the hydraulic pump and let the

fluid drain into the pan.

3. Place a drain pan under the power steering gear.

4. Depending on the vehicle model, loosen the high-pressure power steering line at the bottom of the steering

gear or at the bulkhead fitting, and let the fluid drain into the pan.

5. Remove the high-pressure power steering hose from the power steering pump.

6. At the front of the vehicle, use a male-to-male JIC fitting and attach a new high-pressure hose to the old

hose to pull the new hose through later.

7. Starting at the front of the vehicle, follow the high-pressure hose to the rear, removing all tie straps that secure the hose to the frame rail. Depending on the chassis model, it may be necessary to remove the Aqua

Hot reservoir and position it to the side in order to gain access to the rear compartment.

NOTICE

Do not use any power equipment to remove the hose. Doing so will damage the new hose. If there is

difficulty removing the hose, it may help to route the old hose toward the front of the vehicle over the

air bag.
NOTE: Two technicians are needed to pull the new hose through. Due to the angle of pull on the

hose, it is easier to remove the high-pressure hose from the back of the vehicle. Always pull the hose

in a straight line down the frame rail.

8. At the back of the vehicle, pull the old high-pressure hose through the frame rail until the new hose is in

position and can be attached to the power steering pump.

9. Attach the new high-pressure hose on the power steering pump, and at the steering gear or front bulkhead,

depending on the vehicle model. Tighten the fittings 42 lbf·ft (57 N·m). Ensure that all fittings and clamps

are tight.

10. Install a rail clip and P-clip to hold the power steering hose away from the starter stud. See Power Steering

Hose Orientation on page 6 for instructions, then continue with step 11 below.

11. Connect the battery cables, or if so equipped, turn the battery disconnect switch to the ON position.
IMPORTANT: In order to avoid overflowing the power steering reservoir, fill only to the FULL HOT

mark on the dipstick.

12. Fill the power steering reservoir with Dexron III fluid to the FULL HOT mark on the dipstick. Start the engine, then shut down the engine. Keep repeating the process until air is purged and the fluid level stops

dropping. Avoid running the power steering reservoir empty and foaming the fluid.

13. Once the fluid level stops dropping in the surge tank and the FULL COLD mark is maintained on the dipstick, start the engine and let it run. While the engine is running, slowly turn the steering wheel from full

right to full left, purging any air that is trapped in the steering system.

14. Check all fittings, ensuring there are no leaks.

15. Remove the jack stands.

16. Clean a spot on the base label (Form WAR259). Write the recall number, FL762, on a completion sticker

(Form WAR260), and attach it to the base label.
