Recall 05V213000 · manufacturer campaign SC0291
Service Brakes, Air — Mack · reported 29 Apr 2005 · 56 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 TRUCKS, THERE IS A SLACK ON THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY'S ADJUSTER AND IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE AXLE HOUSING.
The risk
THIS INTERFERENCE LEADS TO A REDUCTION IN BRAKING CAPABILITIES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE "SHOES" BECOME WORN, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
THE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED. ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.
