Recall 2009025

The issue

On certain trucks equipped with super single tires, vibration frequency from the suspension may result in fatigue cracking of the mounting brackets for the brake cam tubes. In time the crack could propagate and cause of the brake cam tube support bracket(s) to fail, which could result in a loss of brakes at the corresponding wheel end. This could increase stopping distances, possibly causing a vehicle crash resulting in property damage, personal injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will install an additional support bracket to the brake cam tubes.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions munis de pneus uniques ultra larges (super single tires), la fréquence vibratoire de la suspension pourrait causer un fissurage de fatigue des supports de fixation des tubes de came de frein. À la longue, la fissure pourrait se propager et causer la défaillance des supports de tube de came de frein, ce qui pourrait causer une perte des freins au niveau de l'extrémité de roue correspondante. Cela pourrait augmenter les distances de freinage et causer un acident, endommager des biens matériels, blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un support supplémentaire au niveau des tubes de came de frein.
