Attention: This bulletin ONLY applies to professional vehicles.


Condition

Some customers may comment on brake vibration or pedal pulsation. This may be the result of brake drag that may cause the brake rotor to wear unevenly, and reduce brake pad lining life.

Cause

Vehicles were built without a brake pedal pushrod spacer. If the spacer is missing, the brake pedal pushrod may move a small amount out of its intended position on the pedal pin. The misalignment may result in a binding condition during release of the brake pedal.

Correction

Inspect for presence of the brake pedal pushrod spacer and install foam spacer, P/N 25512286, if missing using the procedure below.

  1. Remove the left IP closeout/insulator panel.

  2. Object Number: 287901  Size: SH

  4. Reinstall the retainer clip.
