What is wrong
CERTAIN CLASS 8 CHASSIS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE INSTALLATION OF THE ADDITIONAL AXLE(S), RAISES THE GVW CAPABILITY OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE REQUIRES AN INCREASE IN THE PARKING BRAKE PERFORMANCE TO HOLD ON A 20% GRADE IN ORDER TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.

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.
