The defect

The brake return springs on the front brakes can contact the front hubs as the brake pads and drums wear, resulting in spring failure. A piece of the failed spring can lodge in the brake cam causing the brake to drag and the steering to pull to one side.

The risk

Steering pull from the dragging brake can increase the potential for a vehicle crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the front hubs on the affected vehicles.
