Recall 1993069

The issue

THE BRAKE CHAMBERS WERE MOUNTED ON TAG AXLES WITH THEIR MOUNTING STUDS ALIGNED HORIZONTALLY INSTEAD OF VERTICALLY. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE BASE OF THE BRAKE CHAMBER HOUSING FRACTURING WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE SERVICE BRAKE AT THAT WHEEL. CORRECTION: BRAKE CHAMBERS WILL BE REPLACED WITH CHAMBERS THAT HAVE REINFORCEMENTS FOR HORIZONTAL MOUNTING.

Description (français)

Les tiges de montage des actionneurs de frein montés sur l'essieu traîné ont été placées à l'horizontale au lieu de la verticale. Il peut en résulter que la partie inférieure du boîtier de I'actionneur se rompe, ce qui limiterait l'efficacité du frein de service sur la roue en question. CORRECTION: Les actionneurs de frein devront être remplacés par d'autres dotés de renforts de montage horizontal.
