Component:

Service brakes, air

Manufactured:

Affected:

944

Defect:

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.

Consequence:

This could result in a longer stopping distance or a dragging brake condition.

Correction:

Dealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.
