Brakes:air:antilock system
Defect Summary
The involved vehicles are in non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems", due to omission of a sufficient air reservoir capacity and a quick release valve in conjunction with the pintle hook. Lack of air reservoir capacity could, in a panic stop situation at high speed or on a sharp incline, cause all of the air to be released before the vehicle is brought to a complete stop. Also, lack of the quick release valve delays the reaction time beyond acceptable limits.
