What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES, THERE MAY BE A DEFECT IN THE ANCHOR BOLT OF SOME BOSCH MODEL #305 PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLIES. A DIFFERENT COATING WAS APPLIED TO THE BOLT WHICH DID NOT MEET PACCAR SPECIFICATIONS. THIS COULD REDUCE THE FATIGUE LIFE OF THE BOLT AND LEAD TO PREMATURE FAILURE.
What can happen
IF THIS BOLT WERE TO FAIL, THE TRUCK COULD ROLL AWAY WHILE PARKED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Recall repairs are free of charge.

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.
