Recall 77V-148: 1975–1977 Trailmobile Trailmobile
TRAILMOBILE INC. recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Sep 19, 1977, covering about 67 vehicles.
The problem
The involved vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems", in that a 3/8-inch diameter red synflex tubing was incorrectly installed. The tubing may have been installed so that the two air reservoirs are directly connected and both reservoirs would be affected if service brake air pressure is lost. Reduced air pressure in both reservoirs will not allow the parking brakes to be completey released.
The fix
Dealer will reroute the tubing to comply with the safety standard, at no charge to owner.
