What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, “AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS”.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT INCORRECT PLUMBING OF THE REAR BRAKE AXLES OCCURRED.
CONSEQUENTLY, THE REAR AXLE MAY NOT BE CAPABLE OF CYCLING ITS BRAKE APPLICATIONS IN THE ANTI-SKID MODE.

- 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.
