What's wrong
Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar) is recalling certain model year 2015 CT660, and CT681 trucks manufactured July 28, 2014, to November 5, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience brake drag due to an improperly seated diaphragm in the brake chamber.
The risk
Brake drag may result in a wheel end fire.
The fix
Caterpillar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake actuators, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on March 18, 2015. A second notice will be mailed once parts become available. Owners may contact Caterpillar customer service at 1-309-675-5658.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
