DEFECT #1 - SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:SLACK ADJUSTERS


Posted on: 2001-02-07
Description
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with air brake haldex automatic slack adjusters, long stroke brake chambers, and dana brakes.  The automatic slack adjuster anchor brackets can fail due to fatigue fracture and completely separate, causing the slack adjusters to function as manual slack adjusters.

Consequence
If the support bracket for an automatic slack adjuster fails, the brakes at that wheel end will not automatically adjust.  As the brake linings wear, the vehicle will have reduced braking capacity, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will install a new bracket on each suspect slack adjuster.  Owner notification began february 22, 2001.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact international at 1-800-448-7825.
