Defect SummaryThe brake return spring can contact the hub. further wear of the brake lining material will lead to wear of the return spring and the spring can fail prematurely.
Consequence SummaryPieces of the failed spring could then lodge in the brake cam causing either the affected brake to stay applied when the other brakes have been released, or stopping the affected brake from applying when the other brakes are applied. the vehicle could then be pulled in a lateral direction off the road or into oncoming traffic increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Corrective SummaryDealers will modify the front brakes on these trucks.
