Defect. A LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT LOCATED IN THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS TO ACTIVATE IF THE FRONT BRAKE AIR RESERVOIR SYSTEM FALLS BELOW 60 PSI. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO.121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: LOW AIR PRESSURE IN THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM COULD LEAD TO DECREASED VEHICLE BRAKING PERFORMANCE OR CAUSE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WITHOUT THE DRIVER GIVEN VISUAL OR AUDIBLE WARNING.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A WIRING HARNESS WHICH CORRECTLY CONNECTS THE FRONT BRAKE RESERVOIR SYSTEM LOW PRESSURE SWITCH TO THE LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT LOCATED IN THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

THIS IS THE SECOND MICHELIN TIRE ON MY MOTOR HOME TO BLOW OUT BOTH ON THE INSIDE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND BOTH IN THE SAME LOCATION ON THE TIRE. IT WAS THE SIDEWALL. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY AND DID NOT HIT ANYTHING WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. *AK

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.
