The short answer

NHTSA received HEIL ENVIRONMENTAL IND.’s report on Oct 12, 1995. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 26, 2026.

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

What’s wrong with it?

THE AIR LINE CAN DEVELOP A LEAK INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

THE AIR BRAKE LINE FITTINGS ON THE PUSHER AXLE WERE INSTALLED SO THAT ONE OF THE AIR LINES CAN BE DAMAGED AS THE TRUCK IS LOADED AND OPERATED.

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.
