Defect
The heat treatment applied to the wedge-type expander tappets used to actuate the brake shoes in the service brake system is insufficient. As a result, the roller contact surface of the tappet wears prematurely, developing indentations. This prevents the expander from fully actuating the brake shoes, reducing brake force.
Corrective action
Verify the serial number of the expander on all vehicles and replace any affected units with corrected parts.
