TRUCKS WERE BUILT WITH INCORRECT REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: A TENDENCY FOR REAR BRAKE LOCKUP WOULD EXIST PARTICULARLY DURING HEAVY BRAKE APPLICAION WITH A LIGHTLY LOADED TRUCK. ALSO, INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE WOULD BE REQUIRED IF THE BRAKE MODULATION "PUMPING THE BRAKES" IS USED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE DURING A HARD BRAKE STOP.
REPLACE REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLIES.
SYSTEM: REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: REGULAR CAB PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH LIMITED SLIP REARAXLES.
