THE BRAKE DRUMS ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY BE DEFECTIVE.

IF A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKE DRUMS IS DRIVEN IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INCREASE HEAT BUILD UP, THE BRAKE DRUMS COULD CRACK AND POSSIBLY DISINTEGRATE, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING ACTION ON THE REAR WHEELS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
