What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE REQUIRED BRAKE RELEASE TIME OF 0.55 SECONDS MAY NOT BE ATTAINABLE DUE TO DISCONNECTION OF THE ROCKWELL SKID CONTROL VALVE WHICH HAD PERFORMED THE RELAY VALVE AND QUICK RELEASE FUNCTIONS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, INSTALL THE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BRING THE BRAKE RELEASE TIME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE STANDARD.

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.
