   NHTSA 81V046000 Reported April 7, 1981 123 vehicles potentially affected FWD CORPORATION

   In order to adjust brakes on certain vehicles, a more sensitive than normal procedure is required. Using a field service brake adjustment procedure may cause the air chamber to function improperly. This may cause an increase in vehicle stopping distance when the brakes are applied.

   Remedy: Dealer will inspect all involved vehicles, adjust clevis and readjust brakes as necessary and in accordance with specifications.
