What is wrong
NON-DOT "PUSH-ON" TYPE HOSES WERE USED IN CERTAIN ACCESSORY NON-BRAKE AIR SYSTEMS, WITHOUT ISOLATION OF THAT SYSTEM BY A CHECK VALVE, PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE, OR OTHER MEANS OF SYSTEM SEPARATION.
What can happen
TRUCKS DO NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 106; THERE COULD BE ANUNCHECKED LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN THE BRAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OFSERVICE BRAKES AND TRUCK CONTROL.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
INSTALL PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE(S) IN THE AIR SYSTEM TO ISOLATE ALL ACCESSORY AIR LINES FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM.

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.
