The defect

The brake shoe welds on the rear brake assemblies where the brake shoe web joins the brake shoe table could fail. Continued usage of the brake shoe assembly with a broken weld induces a lessening of brake effect and could result in complete loss of braking on the side of the axle where the failure occurred.

The remedy

The dealer will replace the existing brake shoe assembly with a new one which will include new linings and a reinforcement weld at each end of the web to table location.
