Certain vehicles may suffer cracking of various brake assembly components (i.e. brake cam tube mounting flanges, brake air chamber bracket, brake air chamber, brake spider). Over time, this cracking can cause a complete fracture of the cam tube, which could increase stopping distances and decrease parking brake hold capability. A reduction of braking capability could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will inspect the rear axle brake assembly, replace cracked rear axle brake components where required, and install cam tube support brackets on all rear axle wheel ends.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.

A loss of steering control can result in a vehicle crash causing injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an oil cap retention chain to C11 engines and will modify the existing retention chain anchor point on C13 and C15 engine. Damaged oil fill caps will be replaced.
