Description
Consequence
Corrective Action
Notes

Posted on: 1979-10-12
Description
Consequence
Corrective Action
Notes

Posted on: 1979-10-12
Description
Consequence
Corrective Action
Notes
Possibility that power brake booster mounting bracket has spot welds that maybe of insufficient strength to withstand heavy brake applica- tion.failure ofwelds could allow separation of mounting bracket resulting in loss of brakingability.(correct by arc welding where necessary.)
