Defect

On rear two-axle vehicles, the spring-type parking brake chamber mounting bracket on the rearmost axle has insufficient strength. Vibration during driving may cause cracks to develop in the bracket. Continued use can cause the bracket to fracture, reducing parking brake effectiveness. In the worst case, the chamber may detach, rendering the parking brake on the rearmost wheels inoperable, or the air hose may be damaged, causing an air leak.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the rearmost axle housing assembly with one incorporating a corrected spring-type parking brake chamber mounting bracket. As an interim measure while corrected parts are being sourced, inspect the bracket for cracks and weld-repair any that are found.
