NHTSA recall 94E028000 · Equipment
Suspension › Rear › Springs › Air suspension system
The defect
The distance between the spring beam axle locating pin and the "drop" in the spring beam does not provide adequate clearance between the brake caliper and the spring beam.
The risk
The brake caliper housing can come in contact with thespring beam, reducing the effectiveness of the rear brakes; and the brakecaliper banjo fitting can be sheared off by the beam spring. Both conditionsreduce braking effectiveness and could result in an accident.
The remedy
Replacement axle seat shims will be placed between the axle seat and spring beam to space the axle forward and provide clearance between the brake caliper and the spring beam. Replacement hoses will provide sufficient clearance between the brake hoses and the spring beam.
