| Defect Summary | Tiffin is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 allegro and allegro bay recreational vehicles equipped with bosch hydraulic brakes. hydraulic brake equipped motorhome chassis exposed to long periods of time of non-driving may experience diametrical brake caliper piston growth and reduced piston to bore clearance potentially leading to brake drag and overheating resulting in reduced brake performance. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Reduced brake performance may lead to an increased risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Tiffin will notify the owners, and authorized daimler trucks north america (dtna) dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the brake calipers free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 20, 2012. owners may contact dtna at 1-800-547-0712. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Navistar is recalling certain model year my 2001-2008 workhorse w20, w21 and w22 chassis and certain model year 2009 through 2011 monaco rv admiral, arista, monarch, and riptide recreational vehicles 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 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 | Workhorse dealers will replace all four bosch brake caliper assemblies free of charge. the safety recall began on september 16, 2010. owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731. | |||||||||||||||

| Brakes became hot after descending a steep hill. but did not cool off while driving on flat highway for 40 miles. they became extremely hot after 40 miles and pedal required vigorous pumping to activate at all when i pulled into a rest area. there was no indication of brake failure before turning into the rest area because i did not have to apply the brakes while driving on the flat road. after cooling overnight the brakes were normal. | |||
