SEVERE BRAKE CHATTER MAY CAUSE THE FRONT AXLE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS TO DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE WELD AREA WHERE THE S-CAM TUBE ATTACHES TO THE CHAMBER SUPPORT SECTION. BRACKET FAILURE COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF FRONT WHEEL BRAKING AND POSSIBLE RESTRICTION IN STEERING CONTROL. THIS COULD CAUSE VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. CORRECTION:REINFORCED FRONT AXLE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS WILL BE INSTALLED AND,IF NOT FITTED,A FRONT BRAKE LIMITING VALVE.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A TRANSMISSION MOUNTED INTERNAL EXPANDING TYPE PARKING BRAKE MAY HAVE A CRACKED PARKING BRAKE ACTUATING LEVER CAM. UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, IN TIME, THE CRACK CAN GRADUALLY WIDEN, REDUCING THE FORCE OF THE PARKING BRAKE. THE WIDENING OF THE CRACK CAN ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS APPLIED. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE, IT COULD ROLL AWAY UNCONTROLLED.
