What NHTSA recorded

Due to a combination of disc brake pad wear and turn stop wear on certain vehicles, there may be an increase in brake pedal travel and a reduction in front braking effectiveness following a full turn. Also, a frame crack could develop and could extend through all or most of the rail section.

Remedy

Upon inspection dealer will replace either the left or right turn stop bracket to correct the front brakes. If frame is cracked it will be welded and a rod reinforcement will be installed over the cracked area.
