## What is wrong

TRUCKS WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES.     CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A TENDENCY FOR REAR BRAKE LOCKUP WOULD EXIST PARTICULARLY DURING HEAVY BRAKE APPLICAION WITH A LIGHTLY LOADED TRUCK. ALSO, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD BE REQUIRED IF THE BRAKE MODULATION \(PUMPING THE BRAKES\) IS USED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING A HARD BRAKE STOP.


## The remedy

REPLACE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES.
