Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Drum / Shoes/Linings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks equipped with 10,000 or 12,000 pound dana front axles. A condition called brake "sprag", which is characterized by a noise at the end of an applied stop, can develop in the brake system. This noise is the result of a pulsation of the brake lining with the brake drum during brake application. These noise vibrations occur at the resonant frequency of the front axle cross-tube assembly and cause unusually high strain forces in the threaded portion of the tie rod ends that are connected to the cross-tube.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Failure of the tie rod end can cause loss of steering control and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
