The short answer

NHTSA received MAGIRUS DEUTZ A.G., WEST’s report on May 22, 1979. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES DO NOT CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, “AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS”.

DUE TO THE USE OF A LOAD PROPORTIONING VALVE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THE BRAKE ACTIVATION AND RELEASE TIME IN AN UNLOADED CONDITION, MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

IN ADDITION, A DOUBLE CHECK VALVE REQUIRED ON A TWO AIR TANK SYSTEM WAS INADVERTENTLY OMITTED.

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.
