The short answer

NHTSA received NEOPLAN USA CORP.’s report on May 14, 1985. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 28, 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.

CHAFING CONDITION MAY OCCUR BETWEEN FRONT AIR BRAKE HOSE AND TIRE.

ALSO, RUBBER BRAKE PEDAL COVER MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM METAL PEDAL ASSEMBLY.

CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: IF THE CHAFING DAMAGES THE AIR BRAKE HOSE TO THE POINT THAT IT LEAKS, EFFECTIVENESS IS DIMINISHED.

ALSO IF RUBBER BRAKE PEDAL COVER FALLS OFF, THE DRIVERS FOOT MAY SLIP OFF THE PEDAL WHEN BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED.

IN EITHER CASE AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR.

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.
