The issue

On certain vehicles, the slack adjuster housings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could allow the housings to fracture and fail. As a result, the wheel brake to which the slack adjuster is attached would no longer function, which could increase vehicle stopping distances. Should a steer axle slack adjuster fail, it could also cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking. Either problem could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the slack adjusters.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, les carters des rattrapeurs d'usure pourraient avoir été mal fabriqués, ce qui pourrait permettre aux carters de se briser et de faire défaut. En conséquence, le frein de roue auquel le rattrapeur d'usure est fixé ne fonctionnerait plus, ce qui pourrait augmenter la distance de freinage du véhicule. Si un rattrapeur d'usure d'essieu directeur faisait défaut, cela pourrait aussi faire en sorte que le véhicule se déporte d'un côté lors du freinage. Les deux problèmes pourraient provoquer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer les rattrapeurs d'usure.
