What is wrong
FMVSS 121 REQUIRES THAT THE AIR OPERATED OIL LINE TO THE WET AIR PRESSURE TANK CONTAIN AN AUTOMATIC HIGH PRESSURE VALVE TO PROTECT THE BRAKE AIR LINES. THIS PRESSURE VALVE WAS OMITTED. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: THE OMISSION OF THE PROTECTION PRESSURE VALVE COULD ALLOW THE AIR LINE PRESSURE TO INCREASE TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD DAMAGE THE AIR LINES AND WOULD RESULT IN DRAINING AIR PRESSURE FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
ADD PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE TO THE TEE IN THE AIR ACCESSORY LINE.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
