Defect SummaryVehicle description: heavy duty trucks, transit and school buses, equipped with meritor air brake automatic slack adjusters. some of the automatic slack adjusters had insufficient torque applied to the guide pawl cap screw.
Consequence SummaryWithout sufficient torque on the guide pawl cap screw, the brakes could gradually lose adjustment, increasing the vehicle stopping distance.
Corrective SummaryDealers will check the torque on the automatic slack adjuster guide pawl. if there is no torque, the brakes will be adjusted and the guide pawl will be tightened to 15-20 ft. lbs.

Defect SummaryVehicle description: heavy duty trucks. there is interference between the air brake s-cam and the end of one of the knuckle studs. as the brake shoe lining wears, the s-cam rotation may be limited by the interfering knuckle stud. if the s-cam can not rotate through its full range of motion, the braking force can not be fully transmitted from the brake shoe linings to the brake drums.
Consequence SummaryThis could result in a longer stopping distance or a dragging brake condition.
Corrective SummaryDealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.

Corrective SummaryDealers will inspect the torque of these bolts and re-torque to specification.

Defect SummaryVehicle description: heavy duty trucks built with rear leaf spring suspensions (models 4700 built with rear leaf suspensions and manufactured from december 9, through december 16, 1998; models 3400 and 3800 built with 14sbk rear leaf spring suspensions and built april 14 through may 10, 1999; and models 3400 and 3800 built with rear leaf spring suspensions and manufactured from may 10 through may 18, 1999). on vehicles where the frame to axle hose length was too long, a chafing condition exists on suspension components, which could result in hose rupture. on vehicles where the hoses are too short, a hose separation could occur with severe suspension articulation.
Consequence SummaryIf a hose ruptures, the rear brakes will fail increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Corrective SummaryShort hoses will be replaced and the long hoses will have a hose routing kit installed to prevent any chafing problems.
