What NHTSA recorded

The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems". The s121 bogie control air brake system was installed in such a way that the rear axle air control bypassed the front skid control air modulator valve. Improper installation would allow the rear axle to lock up in a panic stop.

Remedy

The dealer will reroute the brake air control lines to the rear axle of the bogie through the front skid control air system to comply with the safety standard.
