Summary
SEVERE BRAKE CHATTER MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS ON EITHER SIDE TO DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE WELD AREA WHERE THE S-CAM SHAFT TUBE ATTACHES TO THE CHAMBER SUPPORT SECTION. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BRACKETS CAN BREAK, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY AT THE FRONT WHEEL, AND POSSIBLY RESTRICT STEERING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy
AS NECESSARY, REPLACE FRONT BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS AND INSTALL A FRONT BRAKE LIMITING VALVE.
