- Component:
- Service brakes, air
- Manufactured:
- 05/03/1994 - 08/10/1999
- 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.
