Although our truck make and model has been recalled for brake sensor problems in the "salt belt" our state of minnesota was not included. I do not know why because I know we use plenty of salt here for aprox 5 months of the year. We have experienced the problem identified with the recall. Our trucks anti- lock brakes will engage and the truck will slide at a slow rate of speed. The date information below is approximate.
