Defect

In the control system, some brake booster cylinders contain a manufacturing defect that prevents the piston from fully returning when the service brake is released. Continued use causes the brake lining to remain in contact with the brake drum. In the worst case, the brake drum overheats and catches fire.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the affected parts with conforming units.
