What this recall means for you
Some 2017-2019 FCCC MC motorhome chassis have the primary and secondary air lines connected to the wrong air pressure gauges.

Dealers will inspect the air gauge lines for proper connection and correct them where needed. The inspection and repair are free of charge. Owners will be notified by Daimler Trucks North America, and you can contact DTNA customer service at 1-800-547-0712 with recall number FL-793.
