What is wrong
THE PISTON IN THE ANTILOCK VALVE COULD STICK DUE TO EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF FLUID CONTAMINANTS THAT MAY COLLECT IN THE TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM. CONSEQUENTLY, NO AIR WOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE BRAKE CHAMBERS NORMALLY SUPPLIED BY THAT VALVE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A "NO BRAKE" CONDITION ON THE AFFECTED AXLES.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
THE DEFECTIVE VALVE WILL BE REPLACED WITHOUT 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.
