CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: ALTHOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE PARKING BRAKES MAY NOT BE SET. THIS COULD ALLOW AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE TO ROLL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

REPLACE THE VALVE DISC IN THE QUICK RELEASE AIR VALVE.

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.
