Issue
On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner XBR chassis, a power steering hose may touch the power stud on the starter motor. This could cause a short circuit and may also cause a power steering fluid leak. This may result in loss of power steering assist.
Safety risk
A power steering fluid leak in the presence of an electrical arc could create the risk of a fire. Additionally, a sudden loss of power assist could make the vehicle difficult to steer and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their motorhome to a DTNA authorized service facility to reroute the power steering hose to ensure it has proper clearance.
