What is wrong
CERTAIN VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 12I, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THIS REQUIRES THE AIR TANK CAPACITY TO BE AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES AS LARGE AS THE BRAKE CHAMBER VOLUME, TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE RESERVES FOR SITUATIONS WHICH MAY REQUIRE REPEATED BRAKE APPLICATIONS.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL ADD AN AIR TANK TO THE INVOLVED VEHICLES AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
