The problem
CERTAIN TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." A STANDARD FITTING WAS INSTALLED IN PLACE OF A SINGLE CHECK VALVE ON THE PARK BRAKE RELAY VALVE.
Risk
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PARKING BRAKE NOT RELEASING AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CHECK VALVE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MAY 3, 2004. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.
