THE SPRING BRAKE CHAMBERS CAN CORRODE INTERNALLY. EXTREME CORROSION COULD CAUSE THE CAP OF THE CHAMBER TO FRACTURE ALLOWING THE COIL SPRING IN THE CHANBER TO RELEASE. THIS COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES IF A PERSON IS CLOSE TO THE BRAKE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE.
Transport Canada recorded this notice in capitals, as its system did for many years. It is reproduced here exactly as published.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 1983066.
