Autocar on the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve.
The short version
Autocar, LLC reported a problem with the service brakes, air. Here is what owners need to know.
On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge.
