Reference: March 17, 1993 Electronic Mail (DMAIL) message on this subject
The front suspension cam bolts on some of these vehicles may break. A bolt failure could cause the vehicle to pull to one side when the brakes are
applied.
To correct this condition, the front lower suspension arm-to-front axle bracket attachments must be inspected. If the vehicle has eccentric cams at these
attachments,
the cam bolt, cam washer and nut must be replaced with a new bolt and nut (without eccentric cams).
Important:
Some of the involved vehicles may still be in dealer inventory. Federal law requires you to complete the recall service on these vehicles before retail
delivery.
Details of this service action are explained in the following sections.
