| Report Received Date: |
July 7, 1975 |
| Summary:
|
Ford Campaign No. 165.
Light trucks. Possibility that trucks equipped with heavy duty double
piston power front disc brakes may have front brake caliper assemblies
with one of the two caliper housing mounting bolts improperly torqued
during subassembly. |
|
Consequence: |
An untorqued mounting bolt
could back off in service and result in increased brake pedal travel so
that the driver would be inclined to pump the brake pedal. Repeated
pumping of the pedal when one end of the caliper housing remains fixed
by a properly torqued bolt and the bolt on the opposite end is loose can
cause the fixed end of the housing to fracture and can result in a loss
of front wheel braking. Should this occur, braking of the vehicle would
be limited to the rear brakes. |
| Remedy:
|
Correct by inspecting and
replacing housing on units found with loose bolts. |
