What is wrong
THE INVOLVED VEHICLES MAY CONTAIN A POOR QUALITY OR AN INSUFFICIENT WELD OF THE BRAKE GROUP MOUNTING FLANGES TO THE AXLE HOUSING. THIS COULD LEAD TO THE FLANGE BREAKING LOOSE FROM THE HOUSING, ALLOWING THE BRAKE GROUP TO TURN WITH THE BRAKE DRUM ON BRAKE APPLICATION. THIS WILL CUT THE BRAKE LINES TO THE BRAKE GROUP AND MAY CAUSE PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKING CAPABILITY.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALER WILL REWELD THE BRAKE FLANGES CORRECTLY, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

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.
