On certain vehicles maneuvered with certain combinations of wheel turn, articulation and bump, the brake chamber can contact the rear hood support. The contact can damage the brake chamber leading to a loss of braking function at the affected wheel end. This could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace or modify the rear hood support with a larger cutout. Brake chambers will be inspected for damage, and replaced if any exists.
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 2010148.
