Recall 87V196000: Wheel Cylinder Contamination

Vehicles equipped with rear brake drums transported by train may experience separation of the brake shoe from the wheel brake cylinder piston. Should separation occur, repeated brake operation may damage the wheel brake cylinder dust boot, allowing water or dust intrusion and subsequent piston contamination.

All vehicles will be inspected and if no separation is found grease will be applied to the component interface to lower friction and avoid subsequent relative motion. If separation is found the wheel brake cylinder dust boot will be replaced.

SYSTEM: BRAKES/DUST BOOT
