The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with a four-in-one air gauge, the air brake system pressure gauge may display an inaccurate pressure reading. This could cause the service brake air pressure to be lower than anticipated, causing a reduction in braking force and an unexpected application of emergency spring brakes, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the air gauge.
