What's wrong

The problem

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.

What to do

The fix

THE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED. ALL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED.
