On certain trucks, the brake return springs on the front brakes may contact the front hubs. Over time the hub may wear the spring shank to the point of spring failure. A piece of the failed spring may become lodged in the brake cam causing the brake to drag. This could cause the steering to pull to one side without prior warning and a crash could occur. Correction: Front hubs will be replaced.
