Consumer Description

FRONT AND REAR DRUM BRAKES ARE MECHANICAL. AN ENGINEERING DEFECT EXISISTS IN THE CAM THAT OPERATES TO EXPAND THE BRAKE SHOES WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH AND WHEN THE BRAKE PADS BECOME PARTIALLY WORN AND BRAKES ARE APPLIED HARD THE CAM WILL ROTATE TO FAR CAUSING THE PADS TO LOCK AGAINST THE BRAKE DRUM AND THEN THEY WILL NOT RELEASE. THIS THEN CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL FROM A LOCKED WHEEL. *AK
