The short version
PACCAR Incorporated reported a problem with the service brakes. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles were built with 16.5" x 7" front drum brakes and Bendix ES-420 brake linings installed on front axles rated to carry between 20,001 and 22,000 lbs GAWR and larger SLR (20.5" to 21.5") tires, however these brake linings are not rated for this configuration. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
The improper brake configuration could lengthen the braking distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
PACCAR will notify owners and dealers will install new 16.5" x 7" brake shoes with ES-600 linings, free of charge.
