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.","mfr_campaign":"01KW7","units":355,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["T300"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2001216"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"01V268000","date":"2001-08-23","manufacturer":"PACCAR, INCORPORATED","component":"SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:SHOES/LININGS","summary":"VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 10,000 OR 12,000 POUND DANA FRONT AXLES.
