Description

CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUXILIARY LIFT AXLE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, 'AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' AN AUXILIARY AIR TANK REQUIRED FOR THE AUXILIARY LIFT AXLE WAS NOT INSTALLED. DURING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE STOPPING DISTANCE MAY INCREASE DUE TO THE LACK OF ADDITIONAL AIR CAPACITY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
