What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, ONE OF THE TWO BOLTS AND NUTS THAT SECURE THE FRONT MOUNTING ANGLE OF THE HYDRAULIC DUMP APPARATUS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR WHEELS. ABRASION OF THE BRAKE LINE DUE TO NORMAL OVER-THE-ROAD VIBRATION, AND BRAKE LINE FAILURE COULD OCCUR WHICH WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES.

The remedy

THE DEALER WILL REPLACE BRAKE TUBING AND WILL FASTEN FRAME CLIPS TO THE BRAKE LINE TO THE FRAME TO ASSURE PROPER CLEARANCE, IF FOUND NECESSARY.

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.
