Defect
On light trucks, the knuckle fitting bore of the knuckle adapter is improperly machined, resulting in insufficient clamping force in the mounting bolts. Continued use may cause the mounting bolts to fall out or fracture. In the worst case, the adapter may rotate, damaging the front brake hose and causing loss of front brake function.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the knuckle adapter with a non-defective part and replace the mounting bolts with new ones.
