What owners report

2023-02-04, Wheels
In January 2022 Freightliner issued a recall# FL912A requesting that all Motorhomes from 2017 - 2023 have the rear inner tire valve stem be removed. What they didn’t tell you was by removing this valve stem it eliminated the Motorhome owners TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) which is a safety feature and also made the inflating/deflating of the inside rear tire nearly impossible for most RV owners. At the time of the recall I (and many others) were informed that their Engineering team was working on a better solution. It has been a year and Engineering has not developed a better solution and has basically shelved the work order. Removing the valve stem is not a legitimate solution
