What is wrong
ON MOTOR HOME CHASSIS BUILT BY WORKHORSE AND EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH BRAKES, THE PADS CAN DRAG ON THE ROTOR SURFACE DUE TO THE PIN SLIDE.
What can happen
A HANG UP OR LOCK UP MAY CAUSE THE CALIPERS TO OVER HEAT AND NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO STOP SAFELY. THIS COULD CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKE CALIPERS WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
WORKHORSE IS CONDUCTING THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE BRAKE CALIPER. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT WORKHORSE AT 1-877-294-6773 OR COACHMEN AT 219-825-5821.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
