What is wrong
AIR BRAKE FITTINGS AND AIR BRAKE HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS CAN BREAK BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT VERTICAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE AIR RESERVOIR.
What can happen
SUCH A BREAK WOULD CAUSE THE TRAILER TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE THE SPRING BRAKE WOULD BE ACTUATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
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.
