The defect
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS". THE ANTI-SKID SYSTEM WAS OMITTED IN PRODUCTION OF THE VEHICLES. THIS RAISES THE POSSIBILITY OF SKIDDING, DUE TO WHEEL LOCK-UP. PARKING BRAKES MAY ALSO BECOME INEFFECTIVE WHEN WHEN THERE IS A DIMINISHING AIR SUPPLY.
The remedy
DEALER WILL INSTALL AN ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEM, AT NO CHARGE.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
