Units Affected:
467,000

Affected Component: Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:drum:shoes/linings.

Summary: A revised brake lining noise insulator resulted in a decrease in the thermal insulation between the brake lining and the front brake caliper piston. This caused greater heat transfer to the caliper pistons with the potential to overheat the brake fluid and diminish brake effectiveness during severe braking conditions. .

Remedy: Add snap-in insulators that attach to each of the front brake caliper pistons. In addition, vehicles with 7. 5 l engines will have insulation added to the engine compartment brake lines. .

Notes: System: brakes; front brake lining. Vehicle description: f250 and f350 trucks with 7. 3 l diesel and 7. 5 l efiengines ; f250 and f350 4x4 models with 5. 8 l efi engines.
