Known issues on the 1988 C60. Owner reporting on the 1988 C60 is thin, amounting to a single complaint on the federal record, and it concerns the service brakes. On a medium-duty chassis that is the system worth reading closely, and the manual sets it out in detail: brake adjustment and lining specifications, line routing, the torque values for the hardware involved, and the diagnostic sequences for a pedal that has gone long or a truck that pulls to one side under braking.
REAR BRAKES OVERHEAT AND SIEZE AND THE BRAKES LOCK UP. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. TT
