Recall 1986147

The issue

FRONT AXLES ON THESE VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN BRAKE ASSEMBLY NUTS WHICH ARE NOT PROPERLY TIGHTENED. THESE NUTS, WHICH RETAIN THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO THE AXLE KNUCKLE, MAY LOOSEN UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND ALLOW THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO BECOME MISPOSITIONED WITHIN THE WHEEL END. THIS COULD CAUSE REDUCED BRAKING CAPABILITY, BRAKE DRAG, HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE WHEEL AND TIRE, AND DECREASED STEERING CONTROL. CORRECTION: BRAKE ASSEMBLY NUTS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO PROPER SPECIFICATIONS. NOTE: VEHICLES LOCATED IN ONTARIO.

Description (français)

Certains écrous des freins avant de ces véhicules peuvent être mal serrés. Ces écrous, qui retiennent le frein à l'articulation de l'essieu, risquent se desserrer dans des conditions normales d'utilisation et le frein peut se déplacer. Il peut alors en résulter une perte d'efficacité et un grippage du frein, une surchauffe de la roue et du pneu ainsi qu'une altération du comportement routier.
