What is wrong
Undercoating applied to the inside of the cab shell squeezed out during assembly onto the brake pedal plunger.
The risk
Undercoating on the plunger may cause the plunger to stick resulting in increased brake pedal effort and/or slow release of the brakes increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will clean the undercoating from the brake pedal plunger assembly, lubricate and reinstall the brake pedal plunger assembly.
