What is wrong
BECAUSE THE AIR BRAKE CHAMBERS ARE LOCATED ABOVE THE REAR AXLE HOUSING, THE AIR HOSE, WHICH FITS ON TOP OF THE CHAMBERS, COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BODY.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
AIR CHAMBERS WILL BE REPOSITIONED IN ORDER TO LOWER THE FITTINGS. IN ADDITION, AXLE STOPS WILL BE INSTALLED (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF VEHICLES WITH 5900 MM WHEEL BASE) IN ORDER TO ENSURE MINIMUM UPWARD TRAVEL OF THE AXLE.

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.
