What is wrong
Certain medium duty pickup trucks equipped with air brakes that include the optional trailer package fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 121, "air brake systems." the air brake lines connected to the tractor protection valve are misrouted.
The risk
A leak in the primary air circuit or secondary air circuit could result in a reduction or loss of the trailer brake effectiveness, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will re-route the air lines connected to the tractor protection valve. Owner notification began january 31, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-[removed].
