## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Meritor disc brakes, the brake caliper mounting bolts may be incorrectly torqued.  This could result in the caliper bolts loosening, which could lead to the caliper detaching.  Insufficiently torqued fasteners may not provide adequate clamping force between the brake caliper and brake anchor plate potentially resulting in reduced brake effectiveness, which would result in increased stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the bolts, and repair as necessary.
