What is wrong
SEVERE BRAKE CHATTER MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS ON EITHER SIDE TO DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE WELD AREA WHERE THE S-CAM SHAFT TUBE ATTACHES TO THE CHAMBER SUPPORT SECTION. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: BRACKETS CAN BREAK, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY AT THE FRONT WHEEL, AND POSSIBLY RESTRICT STEERING, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
AS NECESSARY, REPLACE FRONT BRAKE CHAMBER MOUNTING BRACKETS AND INSTALL A FRONT BRAKE LIMITING VALVE.

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.
