What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL AIR LINE WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT BRAKE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE RATHER THAN THE STOP LAMP SWITCH DOUBLE CHECK VALVE, SUCH THAT IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE OF THE TRUCK FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM THE TRAILER BRAKES CANNOT BE APPLIED USING THE SERVICE BRAKE CONTROL (TREADLE VALVE).
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND CONNECT THE BRAKE CONTROL AIR LINE TO THE PROPER VALVE, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
