AS A RESULT OF SEVERE SHOCK AND VIBRATIONS, THE BRAKE SPIDERS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY DEVELOP CRACKS NEAR THE CAMSHAFT MOUNTING BOSS. THE CRACK PROPAGATES ACROSS THE SPIDER UNTIL THE CAMSHAFT BOSS IS COMPLETELY SEVERED FROM THE REMAINDER OF THE SPIDER. WHEN THE CAMSHAFT BOSS HAS COMPLETELY SEVERED, THE S-CAM, S-CAM BRACKET, AIR CHAMBER AND SLACK ADJUSTER CAN FALL AWAY FROM THE BRAKE SPIDER RESULTING IN A "NO BRAKE" CONDITION ON THE WHEEL.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE SPIDERS ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES USED IN SNOW PLOW DUMP AND REFUSE HAULING APPLICATIONS. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO CHARGE.

THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A POOR QUALITY OR AN INSUFFICIENT WELD OF THE BRAKE GROUP MOUNTING FLANGES TO THE AXLE HOUSING.

THIS WILL CUT THE BRAKE LINES TO THE BRAKE GROUP AND MAY CAUSE PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.
Consequence: Not supplied
Remedy: DEALER WILL REWELD THE BRAKE FLANGES CORRECTLY, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
