💥 Crash riskNHTSA 03V110📅 Apr 1, 2003

2001 Athey M8A & 2001 Athey M9B + 1 more recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain street sweepers, as the brake pads wear, the brake calipers on the rear axle CAN come into contact with a bracket on the chassis. This causes the caliper to deflect during brake application, introducing a bending moment into the caliper mounting bolts. The mounting bolt CAN eventually break allowing the caliper to rotation out of position, causing a loss of braking function on the rear axle.

💥 The risk

This condition increases the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will modify the braking system on these vehicles. Owner notification is expected to begin during march or april 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact epg/athey at 1-847-741-5370.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
