The problem
The air line connections were incorrectly installed on these trailers causing the air brake application and release times to be slower than required by fmvss no. 121, "Air brake systems."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: this condition can cause an increased potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will re-route the brake air line connections.
