What is wrong
IN ORDER TO ADJUST BRAKES ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A MORE SENSITIVE THAN NORMAL PROCEDURE IS REQUIRED. USING A FIELD SERVICE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE THE AIR CHAMBER TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY. THIS MAY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL INSPECT ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES, ADJUST CLEVIS AND READJUST BRAKES AS NECESSARY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS.

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.
