All recalls
Service brakes, air
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. There is interference between the air brake s-cam and the end of one of the knuckle studs. As the brake shoe lining wears, the s-cam rotation may be limited by the interfering knuckle stud. If the s-cam can not rotate through its full range of motion, the braking force can not be fully transmitted from the brake shoe linings to the brake drums.
- Risk
- This could result in a longer stopping distance or a dragging brake condition.
- Remedy
- Dealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.
