Recall 1983030

The issue

Certain vehicles may have been built with left rear brake assemblies that were incorrectly produced with one or both automatic brake adjusters what were intended for right rear brake assemblies. If a brake assejmbly has an incorrectr adjuster, the adjuster mechanism operates backwards causing lining to drum brake clearances to increase as linings wear. On vehicles with either the standard split or optional single system hydraulic brakes, there may be a decrease in braking performance as linings wear. 82 f,b,c,l, and ln trucks and chassis cabs.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ont été équipés, en usine, de freins arrière gauches comportant, par erreur, des mécanismes de rattrapage automatique de jeu destinés aux freins droits. Dans ce cas, le mécanisme, fonctionnant à l'envers, augmente le jeu dû à l'usure des garnitures au lieu de le rattraper. Sur ces véhicules, qu'ils soient dotés d'un circuit de freinage simple ou double, les freins perdent de leur efficacité à mesure que les garnitures s'usent.
