What’s wrong with it?
CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION COULD RESTRICT PROPER OPERATION OF THE BRAKE POWER-ASSIST AND COMPROMISE BRAKING PERFORMANCE; OR RESTRICT PROPER OPERATION OF THE EXHAUST BRAKE SYSTEM. EITHER OCCURRENCE COULD LEAD TO COMPROMISED BRAKING PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED BRAKING DISTANCE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE BRAKE VACUUM HOSE MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH INSUFFICIENT WALL THICKNESS, ALLOWING THE HOSE TO COLLAPSE DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- 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.
