| After exiting interstate, stopping at end of ramp, making left turn, proceeding 2 miles then turning left into campground, my brake pedal went to the floor and pumping barely got us stopped. upon exiting mh the hot brake smell and smoke were coming from rear tires. we let mh sit for time to cool brakes so we could get to parking spot. emer. road service was called and we were towed next day to repair shop for motorcoaches. repair needed was extensive and all associated brake parts were replaced including pads,calipers, oil seals, abs sensors, rear end fluid, brake fluid flushing. front brakes were inspected, found ok, but pads were replaced as precaution. the brakes had hardly been used during drive on interstate since i have exhaust brake. there had been no previous trouble with brakes. we had another incident of rear brakes overheating 8/19/11 after driving several miles on level road. there were only 2 times brakes needed to be used and both gentle stops. mileage 42174. mechanic was called to check for damage but we were lucky, he found none. while in vegas we had recall fl577c (brake switch) done and i asked service mgr.about brake recalls of other kinds he said none. i had also asked previous service mgr. about recalls on brakes because i was aware bosch brake recall on workhorse chassis, again none was the answer. | |||
