ON MOTORHOME CHASSIS BUILT BY WORKHORSE AND EQUIPPED WITH BOSCH BRAKES, THE PADS CAN DRAG ON THE ROTOR SURFACE DUE TO THE PIN SLIDING.
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.
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 FOUR WINDS AT 937-295-2983.
