The defect

The brake shoe welds on the rear brake assemblies could loosen where the brake shoe web joins the brake shoe table. This loosening can result in complete brake shoe failure on the axle side affected. Some braking capability should be maintained since the front braking assembly IS not affected.

The remedy

The dealer will replace the defective brake shoe assemblies free of charge.
