A QUANTITY OF CAM BRAKE ANCHOR PINS WAS FOUND TO BE PROCESSED (HARDENED) INCORRECTLY. IF CAM BRAKES WERE TO BE ASSEMBLED USING THE IMPROPERLY PROCESSED ANCHOR PINS, A FRACTURE OF THE ANCHOR PIN COULD OCCUR DURING BRAKE APPLICATION, CAUSING LOSS OF PROPER TENSION OF THE BRAKE SHOES AND ATTENDANT REDUCTION IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THAT BRAKE. THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING IN THAT WHEEL LOCK-UP COULD OCCUR, AFFECTING DIRECTIONAL STABILITY.
