What’s wrong with it?
The notice gives no hazard in a field of its own.
FRONT AXLE AIR BRAKE LINES ARE ROUTED TOO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.
THIS CAN PERMIT BRAKE LINES TO MELT AND RUPTURE, CAUSING A REDUCTION IN AIR PRESSURE TO BRAKE CHAMBERS UPON BRAKE APPLICATION.

- 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.
