What is wrong
CERTAIN DOUBLE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." CONTINUOUS POWER IS NOT PROVIDED TO THE REAR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE TOWING VEHICLE AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
What can happen
THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL DURING BRAKING AND A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE FURNISHED WITH AN ADD-ON WIRING HARNESS TO PROVIDE THIS CONTINUOUS POWER AND WILL BE REIMBURSED A FIX AMOUNT FOR INSTALLATION LABOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HACKNEY AT 1-252-946-6521.

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.
