Defect. THE FRONT AND REAR SERVICE BRAKE RESERVOIR IS PLUMBED SO A SINGLE POINT FAILURE CAN EMPTY BOTH RESERVOIRS. THIS PLUMBING ALLOWS AIR FROM THE WET TANK TO GO THROUGH ONE OF THE REAR SERVICE RESERVOIRS BEFORE ENTERING THE FRONT SYSTEM SERVICE RESERVOIR. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE; IF A LINE WERE TO BREAK, A LEAK WOULD DISABLE BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLUMB THE FRONT AND REAR AIR BRAKE RESERVOIR LINES.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
