Component:

Service brakes, hydraulic:pedals and linkages

Manufactured:

10/31/1976 - 08/31/1978

Affected:

350

Defect:

The pushrod may have been incorrectly mounted to the lower of two holes in the brake pedal assembly. incorrect mounting can cause sideload forces to be applied to the pushrod, causing the pushrod to fracture.

Correction:

Vehicle will be inspected for correct (upper hole) pushrod mounting. mismounted pushrods will be replaced and correctly mounted. the lower hole will be blocked to prevent future mistakes, without charge to owner.

Notes:

Vehicle description: trucks and school buses.system: service brakes; pushrod.consequences of defect: continued use could cause the fracture to propagate andthe pushrod to separate. this would prevent the master cylinder fromactivating, resulting in loss of braking capability and, possibly, loss ofvehicle control and an accident.
