What’s wrong with it?
THE BRAKE PIPE COULD CRACK, ALLOWING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK, DECREASING BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND CAUSING A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WELD MATERIAL MAY BE PRESENT ON THE REAR AXLE HOUSING AT THE JOINT RETAINER.
THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE JOINT RETAINER AND BRAKE CONNECTOR MAY BE BEYOND SPECIFICATION AND COULD CAUSE THE ATTACHING BOLT TO LOOSEN ALLOWING THE BRAKE PIPE TO VIBRATE.

What the record doesn’t say

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
