Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar) is recalling certain model year 2015 CT660, and CT681 trucks manufactured July 28, 2014, to November 5, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience brake drag due to an improperly seated diaphragm in the brake chamber.
Risk
Brake drag may result in a wheel end fire.
Manufacturer remedy
Caterpillar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake actuators, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on March 18, 2015. A second notice will be mailed once parts become available. Owners may contact Caterpillar customer service at 1-309-675-5658.
