SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SUPPLY:RESERVOIR/TANK
An insufficient air reservoir volume may reduce brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of crash.
6 safety recall campaigns, 3 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
