What is wrong
THE STUD WELDS ON THE FRAME CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE "P" CLAMPS HOLDING THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES TO DISENGAGE FROM THE FRAME. THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES CAN COME TO REST ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DAMAGING THE LINES RESULTING IN A LEAK TO THE SYSTEM, LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE, AND ENGAGEMENT OF THE SPRING BRAKES.
What can happen
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A "P" CLAMP RETAINING THE AIR LINE TO THE FRAME.

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.
