| Defect Summary | Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers 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. the driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver. | |||||||||||||||
| 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 for this campaign please see 09v-110. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or coachmen at 1-574-266-4030, option 5. | |||||||||||||||

| I have a 2004 georgie boy motorhome on a workhorse w20 chassis and when my family and i were returning from a trip, we could smell something burning. when i pulled the motorhome over to investigate where the smell was coming from, i noticed a fluid on the front driver's side tire. it was hot and smelled like brake fluid. apparently the caliper shot out some fluid out or something and when i touched the rim, it was extremely hot. when i was driving it home, i also felt a pulling to the left as i was going down a straight part of the highway. now the abs light is illuminated. i have not taken it to the garage yet for repair and i am concerned to drive it there as the nearest shop is around 30 miles away. *tr | |||
