Recall 2014094

The issue

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. Incorrect brake linings were used on front drum brake assemblies fitted with large diameter tires (Static Load Radius of 20.5" - 21.5"), rendering the vehicles noncompliant to the standard. This could result in inadequate braking, increasing stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install new brake shoes with the correct linings.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 121 – Systèmes de freinage à air comprimé. De mauvaises garnitures de frein ont été utilisées sur les freins à tambour avant munis de pneus de grand diamètre (rayon de charge statique de 20,5 po - 21,5 po), rendant les véhicules non conformes à la norme. Cette situation pourrait causer un freinage inadéquat, ce qui augmenterait les distances de freinage et les risques d'accident entraînant des blessures ou des dommages matériels. Correction: Les concessionnaires installeront de nouveaux segments de frein avec les garnitures appropriées.
