On certain trucks, the brake pedal assembly used in the right hand station of vehicles built with dual drive option, may have been improperly welded. The weld that attaches the pivot pin boss to the brake pedal may fail. This condition, if present, would leave the vehicle operator without normal braking control and could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Brake pedal assembly will be replaced.
