On certain motorhomes built on a Freightliner chassis, an incorrect valve stem stabilizer may have been used on the single drive axle. This could result in the incorrect stabilizer to become dislodged from the wheel and allow the valve stem extension for the inner wheel to contact the outer wheel, potentially causing damage to the valve stem. If the valve stem we to be damaged, it could cause a loss of air pressure in the inner tire, which may overload the outer tire and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Daimler Trucks North America authorized service facilities will inspect and replace the inner wheel valve stem stabilizer as necessary.
