Recall 96V163000
Service Brakes, Air — Monon · reported 3 Sep 1996 · 12 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
AIR BRAKE FITTINGS AND AIR BRAKE HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS CAN BREAK BECAUSE OF INSUFFICIENT VERTICAL CLEARANCE UNDER THE AIR RESERVOIR.
The risk
SUCH A BREAK WOULD CAUSE THE TRAILER TO STOP ABRUPTLY BECAUSE THE SPRING BRAKE WOULD BE ACTUATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
ALL 12 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REMEDIED BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE AIR RESERVOIR AND FITTINGS AND HOSES ON THE BRAKE ACTUATORS.

Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
