Defect Summary | Damon is recalling 2,415 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. when combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. this can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. | |||||||||||||||
Consequence Summary | The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731. | |||||||||||||||

I had a safety recall # 50401c done on 05/09/2006 to replace all 4 calipers because they might hang up and cause brake overheating and maybe a accident. at that time there was no damage and no worn of cracked parts. i was asked to return again for recall # 51101c to again replace all 4 calipers to the latest style for the same reason. this time 3 of the 4 calipers on the motorhome were deemed not usable because of cracks but the work horse corp. won't pay for new rotors. i think this damage is their problem and not mine. please advise. | |||
