## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the slack adjuster may develop a fatigue crack and fail.  This would render the slack adjuster inoperative, and reduce braking effectiveness.  Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash, causing property damage, and/or personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, where necessary, replace the slack adjusters.
