Details

What's 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.

Why it matters: 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: 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.
