FCCC XBS, XBP +6 more: Service brakes — electric
Affects FCCC XBS, XBP, XCL, XCM, XCS, XCR, XBR, XCP · 2013–2016 — about 3K vehicles.
The hazard
If the brake activation signal to a towed device remains active when the motorhome chassis service brakes are released, the brakes on a towed device may remain engaged depending on brake configuration of the trailer. As a result, the brakes would drag and possibly overheat potentially resulting in a fire. Additionally, following drivers may be confused by the motorhome's actions, increasing the risk of a crash.
