What NHTSA recorded

The check valve, located on the inlet side of the primary and secondary air tanks may crack in the female fitting area and cause a slow loss of air. A leaking valve will reduce air pressure and partial or complete loss of brakes on those axles that depend upon that part of the system could occur.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install new air check valves.
