Recall 1992026

The issue

NOTE: VEHICLES WITH 7.3 LITRE DIESEL AND 7.5 LITRE EFI ENGINES OVER 8500 LB. GVWR AND 4X4 MODELS WITH 5.8 LITRE EFI ENGINES. WHEN VEHICLES ARE OPERATED AT OR NEAR GVWR OR GCWR (GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING WHEN TRAILER TOWING), BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS MAY DIMINISH DUE TO OVERHEATING OF THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS MAY RESULT IN LONGER THAN NORMAL STOPPING DISTANCES AND A LOW BRAKE PEDAL AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: SNAP-IN INSULATORS THAT ATTACH TO EACH OF THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER PISTONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. IN ADDITION, VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 7.5 LITRE ENGINES WILL HAVE INSULATION INSTALLED ON ENGINE COMPARTMENT BRAKE LINES.

Description (français)

Il se peut l'efficacité des freins soit réduite par une surchauffe des freins avant lorsque les véhicules sont utilisés au moment ou le poids nominal brut du véhicule (PNBV) ou le poids nominal brut du véhicule articulé (avec remorque) est atteint ou presque atteint. Cela peut augmenter les distances de freinage, obliger le conducteur à appuyer sur la pédale de frein beaucoup plus à fond et augmenter les risques d'accident.
