- Summary
- The front and rear service brake reservoir is plumbed so a single point failure can empty both reservoirs. This plumbing allows air from the wet tank to go through one of the rear service reservoirs before entering the front system service reservoir. This does not comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 121, "air brake systems."
- Consequence
- Consequence of non-compliance; if a line were to break, a leak would disable both front and rear brake systems increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replumb the front and rear air brake reservoir lines.

Has your Capacity 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 Capacity dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
