Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Crane Carrier is recalling certain 2010-2011 cab and chassis utility vehicles manufactured between October 26, 2010, and March 18, 2011, that are equipped with Gunite automatic air brake slack adjusters. A defect in the casting process can cause the slack adjuster housing to crack at the handle under normal braking conditions, potentially resulting in a loss of braking ability and vehicle crashes.
To remedy this issue, Accuride/Gunite will replace the affected slack adjusters free of charge. Affected owners should contact Accuride at 1-800-677-3786 or Crane Carrier at 1-918-832-7305 to arrange the replacement.
