## What is wrong

Certain Kenworth vehicles manufactured between March 1996 and September 11,2001 model year T300 trucks equipped with 10,000 or 12,000 pound Dana front axles. A condition called brake "sprag", which is characterized by a noise at the end of an applied stop, can develop in the brake system. This noise is the result of a pulsation of the brake lining with the brake drum during brake application. These noise vibrations occur at the resonant frequency of the front axle cross\-tube assembly and cause unusually high strain forces in the threaded portion of the tie rod ends that are connected to the cross\-tube. Failure of the tie rod end can cause loss of steering control and possibly result in a vehicle crash. Correction:   Dealers will replace the brake lining on the front axle of each vehicle with a lining made of a different composition. In addition, the tie rod ends will be replaced free of charge.
