What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, “AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS”.
THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL AIR LINE WAS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT BRAKE DOUBLE CHECK VALVE RATHER THAN THE STOP LAMP SWITCH DOUBLE CHECK VALVE, SUCH THAT IN THE EVENT OF A FAILURE OF THE TRUCK FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM THE TRAILER BRAKES CANNOT BE APPLIED USING THE SERVICE BRAKE CONTROL (TREADLE VALVE).

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.
