What is wrong
THE FRONT AND REAR SERVICE BRAKE RESERVOIR IS PLUMBED SO A SINGLE POINT FAILURE CAN EMPTY BOTH RESERVOIRS. THIS PLUMBING ALLOWS AIR FROM THE WET TANK TO GO THROUGH ONE OF THE REAR SERVICE RESERVOIRS BEFORE ENTERING THE FRONT SYSTEM SERVICE RESERVOIR. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."
What can happen
CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE; IF A LINE WERE TO BREAK, A LEAK WOULD DISABLE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLUMB THE FRONT AND REAR AIR BRAKE RESERVOIR LINES.

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.
