Defect. 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.

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.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
