CRANE CARRIER COMPANY recall for service brakes, air, reported to NHTSA on Apr 13, 2011, covering about 73 vehicles.
The problem

Crane carrier will notify owners and accuride/gunite will conduct the remedy for this campaign and replace the subject slack adjusters free of charge. The safety recall began on april 26, 2011. Owners may contact accuride at 1-800-677-3786 or crane carrier at 1-918-832-7305.
