What is wrong
BENDIX IS WORKING WITH THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS TO RECALL 353 BENDIX T-14 SERVICE BRAKE CHAMBERS USED ON SOME BENDIX ADB22X AIR DISC BRAKES TO BE INSTALLED ON STEER AXLES OF SOME TRUCKS. THE LUBRICANT USED AS AN ASSEMBLY AID FOR THE T-14 SERVICE CHAMBERS DOES NOT EVAPORATE AS INTENDED AND CAN MIGRATE BETWEEN THE PUSHROD BASE AND THE RUBBER DIAPHRAGM. THIS CAN CAUSE THE PUSHROD BASE TO BECOME MISALIGNED AND LODGED IN THE CHAMBER BODY AFTER A BRAKE APPLICATION, RESULTING IN THE BRAKE NOT FULLY RELEASING.
What can happen
IF A BRAKE ON THE STEER AXLE REMAINS PARTIALLY APPLIED, VEHICLE STEERING ABILITY AND STABILITY CAN BEAFFECTED ON SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACES, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
