Missing Air Tank Drain Valves/FMVSS 121
NHTSA #13V184000 · Service Brakes, Air · NHTSA notice
Reported May 8, 2013 · Autocar, LLC
Potentially affected: 82 vehicles
Autocar campaign A-1302 · Owners notified June 27, 2013 · Vehicles built November 16, 2004 – September 10, 2012 (per NHTSA)
Defect description
Autocar, LLC is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 ACX, WX, and WXLL trucks built November 16, 2004, through September 10, 2012. On the affected vehicles, the air brake systems were built without the required air tank drain valve. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Safety consequence
Air tanks with valves omitted will not drain if moisture is introduced into the tank, potentially reducing air capacity in the air brake system, which could cause a reduction in brake performance and equipment durability, thus increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Autocar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2013. Owners may contact Autocar at 1-765-489-5499. Autocar's recall campaign number is A-1302.

Safety consequence
THE DEFLECTION MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN CRACKING OF THE FRAME RAIL.
