What NHTSA recorded

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.

Remedy

Replace rear brake assemblies.
