John Deere Mechanical Recall 90V003000 (6,938 Vehicles)

The problem

The parking brake release cable may bind if it is too close to the exhaust manifold. Also, the oil hose may contact the brake pump bracket and eventually cause oil to leak from the hydro-max system.

The risk

This could cause the parking brake to be inoperative, which could allow the truck to roll and could result in an accident.

The fix

Replace and reroute cable to prevent binding. Also inspect and replace damaged hose.

Contacts

System: parking brake release cable. Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks.
