What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE WASHERS USED TO SPACE THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR BRACKET AWAY FROM THE BRAKE SPIDER WERE OMITTED DURING ASSEMBLY. THIS OMISSION COULD CAUSE THE SENSOR BRACKET TO BE DEFORMED. BRAKING CAPABILITY COULD BE PARTIALLY LOST.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEALER WILL INSTALL TWO WASHERS AND REPLACE SENSORS AND AIR CONTROL VALVES ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

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.
