Zf recall: Service brakes, air
What is wrong
ZF North America, Inc. (ZF) is recalling certain Axles equipped with radial air disk brakes. Surface roughness of a guide pin in the radial brake calipers may cause the brake carriage guide pin support bolt to break.
What could happen
Breakage of the guide pin can cause loss of braking ability or loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
ZF has notified the vehicle manufacturers that purchased the affected axles. ZF will provide a rebushing kit at no charge to repair the brake. The recall began on June 25, 2018. Owners may contact ZF customer service at 1-734-416-6200.
