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

What’s wrong with it?

HOSE SEPARATION COULD CAUSE AIR LEAKAGE AND CAUSE THE BREAKAWAY VALVE TO START APPLYING TRAILER BRAKES AND POSSIBLY THE AUTOMATIC SPRING BRAKES; SUCH UNEXPECTED BRAKE APPLICATION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BRAKE HOSE LAYERS SEPARATED AT AN APPLIED LOAD OF 6.29 POUNDS RATHER THAN THE FMVSS 106 MINIMUM REQUIRED LOAD OF 8.0 POUNDS.

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.
