This model was recalled due to the rear brakes failing in such a way. I believe that it should be recalled again but for the front brakes. The brake line was rubbing against the axle causing it to eventually break. In the area I was traveling I could have been seriously injured if truck was at a higher speed. Of course the dealer feels no remorse and does not care about the safety of it's customer's. it's funny how they are wanting to speak with you while you purchase it, but afterwards they no nothing about the truck and it was not their fault. I'm still waiting for the part and it is 9-18-01. Seems the part is hard to find.
