THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A POOR QUALITY OR AN INSUFFICIENT WELD OF THE BRAKE GROUP MOUNTING FLANGES TO THE AXLE HOUSING. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE FLANGE BREAKING LOOSE FROM THE HOUSING, ALLOWING THE BRAKE GROUP TO TURN WITH THE BRAKE DRUM ON BRAKE APPLICATION. THIS WILL CUT THE BRAKE LINES TO THE BRAKE GROUP AND MAY CAUSE PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
