Component: Air Brake
Manufactured by: International Truck And Engine
Affected Units:: 944
Recall Summary:
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. There is interference between the air brake s-cam and the end of one of the knuckle studs. As the brake shoe lining wears, the s-cam rotation may be limited by the interfering knuckle stud. If the s-cam can not rotate through its full range of motion, the braking force can not be fully transmitted from the brake shoe linings to the brake drums.
How to Fix:
Dealers will shorten the interfering knuckle stud to eliminate the clearance problem.
