Description (français)

Il se peut que l’on ait installé les mauvais rotors de remplacement sur les freins de service, ce qui fait en sorte que l’assemblage roue-moyeu est défectueux. Il se peut alors que le conducteur ressente des frémissements lors du freinage ou du shimmy à haute vitesse. Si le véhicule n’est pas réparé, il se peut qu’éventuellement les goujons de roues se brisent.Correction : Les rotors et les plaquettes des freins avant devront être remplacés sur les véhicules visés.
