The problem
Certain vehicles may not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 12I, "air brake systems". This requires the air tank capacity to be at least twelve times as large as the brake chamber volume, to provide adequate reserves for situations which may require repeated brake applications.
The fix
Dealer will add an air tank to the involved vehicles at no charge to owner.
