The hazard

Certain vehicles may have been built with left rear brake assemblies that were incorrectly produced with one or both automatic brake adjusters what were intended for right rear brake assemblies. If a brake assejmbly has an incorrectr adjuster, the adjuster mechanism operates backwards causing lining to drum brake clearances to increase as linings wear. On vehicles with either the standard split or optional single system hydraulic brakes, there may be a decrease in braking performance as linings wear. 82 f,b,c,l, and ln trucks and chassis cabs.
