The issue

Certain vehicles fail to comply with requirements of CMVSS 121 - Air Brake System. The air lines were incorrectly constructed with only four layers of extruded nylon material, instead of the specified five layers. Should the air lines develop a leak, while the vehicle is in motion, it could cause the air brake system to fail, which would engage the rear spring brakes, slowing the vehicle to a stop, and preventing it from being driven. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, replace the air lines.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 121 - Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé. Les canalisations d'air ne comportent que quatre couches de nylon extrudé au lieu des cinq couches spécifiées. Si les canalisations d'air se mettaient à fuir pendant que le véhicule est en mouvement, le système de freinage à air comprimé pourrait faire défaut, ce qui serrerait les freins à ressort arrière, ralentirait le véhicule jusqu'à ce qu'il s'arrête, et empêcherait d'utiliser le véhicule. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer les canalisations d'air comprimé.
