Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

Some of the involved vehicles may have been built with left rear brake assemblies that were incorrectly produced and may have one or two automatic brake adjusters that were intended for right rear brake assemblies. The adjuster works backwards and increases the clearance between the brake lining and drum, instead of maintaining it.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the left rear brake adjuster assembly at no charge.
