The issue
SOME OF THE ROCKWELL FRONT AXLES MAY CONTAIN BRAKE ASSEMBLY MOUNTING NUTS WHICH ARE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED. THESE NUTS COULD LOOSEN UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND ALLOW THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO BECOME MIS-POSITIONED. THIS MAY RESULT IN REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY, BRAKE DRAG, HEAT BUILD UP IN THE WHEEL AND TIRE, DECREASED STEERING CONTROL AND A POTENTIAL FOR VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: NUTS SECURING THE BRAKE SPIDER TO THE STUDS WILL BE RETORQUED.
Description (français)
Il se peut que les écrous de montage des freins de l'essieu avant Rockwell ne soient pas serrés suffisamment; si un des freins se desserre et se dérègle, il peut gripper et faire surchauffer la roue ainsi que le peu. La défectuosité peut réduire l'efficacitié du freinage, altérer le comportement routier et provoquer un accident.
