What is wrong
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, 'AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' IN A SITUATION IN WHICH MULTIPLE ALARMS ARE ACTIVE, A CHECK ENGINE, STOP ENGINE, OR SIMILAR WARNING INDICATOR IS GIVEN PRIORITY OVER THE LOW AIR ALARM BY THE INSTRUMENT SYSTEM CONTROLLER SOFTWARE. IF THE OPERATOR DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THESE HIGHER PRIORITY ALARMS, A LOW AIR ALARM MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED.
What can happen
A VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN WITH THE AIR PRESSURE BELOW 60 PSI WITHOUT THE LOW AIR WARNING SOUNDING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
FREIGHTLINER DEALERS WILL RE-FLASH THE SOFTWARE. OWNERS SHOULD FREIGHTLINER AT 1-800-547-0712 OR FOUR WINDS AT 1-574-266-1111.

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.
