The defect
Ford IS recalling model year 2010 F-650 and F-750 trucks. the s-cam tubes on the air brake axle assemblies were not greased and corrosion may develop over time, which may restrict release of the service brake at the affected wheel.
The risk
If this occurs, it could cause excessive brake temperatures, noise, brake fade, odor, smoke, brake pull and possibly longer stopping distances which could increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will lubricate the s-cam tube and check the s-cam for free movement at all four wheel locations free of charge. the safety recall began on december 16, 2009. owners may contact ford at 1-866-436-7332 or through the internet at www.fordowner.com.
