What's wrong, in plain English
Volvo Trucks is recalling certain VNR vehicles because the die-cast pedal plate on the brake pedal may break at one of the points where it attaches to the truck. If this happens, the brake pedal could come loose and no longer work properly. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards that apply to air brake systems on trucks.
