What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A SPRING BRAKE PISTON ROD WITH IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED ROLLERS.
THIS MAY CAUSE THE ROLLERS TO BE TOO BRITTLE, AND THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO BREAKING.
ROLLER FAILURE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF EFFECTIVE PARKING AND EMERGENCY BRAKES ON A SINGLE WHEEL.

- 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.
