The issue
NOTE: F-SUPER DUTY MOTORHOME CHASSIS AND F-SUPER DUTY COMMERCIAL CHASSIS. INTERCONNECTION OF THE RETURN LINE PLUMBING FROM THE HYDROBOOST POWER BRAKE UNIT AND THE POWER STEERING GEAR MAY CAUSE LIGHT APPLICATION OF THE HYDROBOOST UNIT WHEN NO FORCE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS COULD CAUSE "DRAGGING BRAKES" WHICH, IF NOT NOTICED, COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FADE OR IN PREMATURE WEAR AND/OR HEAT DAMAGE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH REVISED RETURN LINES AND BRAKE COMPONENTS WILL BE INSPECTED. DAMAGED BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS WILL BE REPLACED.
Description (français)
Les branchements de la tuyauterie de retour de la servocommande de direction peuvent causer un léger serrage du servofrein même si aucune pression n'est exercée sur la pédale de frein. Les freins risquent donc de frotter, ce qui, à la longue, peut provoquer une perte d'efficacité de freinage ou entraîner l'usure prèmaturée ou des dommages par la chaleur, ou les deux, des pièces de freins.
