For the 1980 Flxible Transit Coach. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Flxible been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Flxible dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Summary
Cracks may develop in the trunnion to which the apex of the "a-frame" is attached. These cracks may progress to the point that the trunnion could fail and the a-frame could separate from it. If this occurs, the a-frame could come into contact with the conduit carrying air, as well as the electrical and fuel lines.
