Recall 2012276

The issue

On certain trucks, bolts fastening the brake calipers to their mounting plates (on all axles) may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. Loose bolts could allow a caliper to detach from its mounting plate, causing the vehicle to pull to one side when braking and could also increase stopping distances. These issues could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the specified torque.

Description (français)

Sur certains camions, les boulons qui fixent les étriers de frein à leurs plaques de fixation (sur tous les essieux) pourraient ne pas avoir été adéquatement serrés lors du montage du véhicule. Des boulons desserrés pourraient permettre à un étrier de se détacher de sa plaque de fixation; à cause de cela, le véhicule tirerait d'un côté lors du freinage; de plus, cela pourrait aussi augmenter les distances de freinage. Ces problèmes pourraient causer un accident endommageant des biens matériels ou blessant quelqu'un. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront serrer les boulons de fixation d'étrier au couple de serrage spécifié.
