The risk

The remedy

THE O.625 INCH NYLON AIR TUBING BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AIR MANIFOLD AND THE TANDEM SERVICE RELAY WILL BE REPLACED WITH .75 INCH NYLON TUBING, WHICH WILL ALLOW BRAKE SYSTEM TO MEET THE SERVICE BRAKE APPLICATION TIME REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS 121.

Notes

SYSTEM: SERVICE BRAKES; FMVSS 121.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY TRUCKS.

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.
