This Problem Across All Years
INADVERTENT BRAKE APPLICATION CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT AND DAMAGE TO FRONT BRAKE PARTS. TOOK RIG TO LOCAL SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED AND REPAIRED. WE HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM WORKHORSE SO PAID FOR REPAIR IN FULL. AFTER INITIAL RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED, CONTACTED WORKHORSE BUT CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FALL IN THEIR SPECIFIC TIME FRAME. *TR

BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED ON MY 2004 BOUNDER MOTORHOME WITH WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE DRAGGING BRAKE ON RIGHT REAR BECAME HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE BRAKE FLUID TO BOIL WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO FAIL TO THE POINT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE ANY TYPE OF BRAKING OCCURRED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A WORKHORSE DEALER WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE INCIDENT HAD OCCURRED. EVENTUALLY THE CALIPER RELEASED AND THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE IN WORKING ORDER. NOTHING WAS FIXED NOR DONE AND AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THE VEHICLE WAS REMOVED FORM THE DEALER AND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE. THE BRAKES FAILED FOR NO REASON AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THEM OR PREVENT RECURRENCE. *TR

MULTIPLE BRAKE ISSUES ON 2004 RV WITH CHEVY WORKHORSE CHASSIS - OVERHEATING DISC BRAKE CALIPERS AND POOR PERFORMANCE. RV HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME AND WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR BRAKE ISSUE FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST 8-10 MONTHS. THE AUTHORIZED WORKHORSE DEALER COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM SO JUST TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS TO TRY TO FIX IT. THE BRAKE LINES WERE BLED, CALIPERS WERE REPLACED THE LAST TIME AND THERE IS AN ABS ISSUE THIS TIME. *TR

MY WIFE AND I LEFT OUR HOME IN SURFSIDE BEACH, SC FOR A WEEKEND OF NC CAMPING. WE PASSED THROUGH CONWAY, SC ON HWY 501. MY WIFE ASKED IF I LEFT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, BECAUSE THERE CAME A SMELL OF OVERHEATED BRAKES. MY BRAKE WAS OFF, AND WE THOUGHT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM TRAFFIC AHEAD OF US. THE SMELL GOT STRONGER, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE AND I ALSO NOTICED A DECREASE IN FUEL ECONOMY (ON BOARD MPG COMPUTER). WE WERE DOING ABOUT 55 MPH. AS I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION IN AYNOR, SC TO CHECK THINGS I DISCOVERED I HAD NO BRAKES (PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR). I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND MANAGED TO PULL IN; WE COULD FEEL HEAT COMING OFF THE REAR WHEELS (AND SMELL) WHEN WE WALKED AROUND THE COACH. THE ABS MALFUNCTION LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. OUR RV IS A 2004 36 FT. BOUNDER ON A W22 WORKHORSE CHASSIS. THE RV WAS BUILT IN JULY, 2003 (07/03), AND HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED WORKHORSE AND ASKED FOR THE CLOSEST SERVICE CENTER. I WAS GIVEN THE NAME OF A MYRTLE BEACH, SC CENTER, SO I CALLED THEM TO ARRANGE A TOW. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR DID NOT WANT TO TOW MY RV FROM AYNOR TO MYRTLE BEACH WITH A REAR BRAKE PROBLEM. I PAID $1303.29 FOR PARTS (2 REAR CALIPERS, 2 ROTORS, BRAKES , 2 ABS SENSORS AND 2 AXLE SEALS) WHICH I PURCHASED FROM THE MYRTLE BEACH WORKHORSE CENTER AND CARRIED TO THE AYNOR SERVICE STATION WHERE I PAID $506.26 FOR THEM TO INSTALL THE NEW PARTS. NOTE: THE RIGHT REAR ABS SENSOR MELTED OUT OF THE REAR WHEEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE THE OLD PARTS. *TR
