Thank you for all the suggestions. I love RV.NET posters, your help is always appreciated. We spoke to a Mechanic (@ Bob's Preformance Center in Minden, NV) this morning and will take it in for inspection and he will do the repairs or the work necessary to make sure we have properly functioning brakes.
Recall means done for free, but you need to take it to someone who is a Workhorse repair facility to have it done for free. Other wise they don't even know what the recall is about!!! It sounds like a good place, but will they do the Workhorse recall work with Workhorse covering the expense?

No they are going to charge me. I just am not comfortable driving any lengthy distance. I am sure they are going to gouge me. I just want piece of mind at this point.
The cost is not the consideration. ONLY a Workhorse certified shop can do the NHTSA recall. Any repairs made by another shop, can not and will not meet the requirements of having the recall work done according to WH exact specs. If you have an incident where your brakes fail, what would a law enforcement officer do if they knew the vehicle owner ignored the FACTORY recall? Your VIN is permanent record of what recall work has been done on your vehicle. Anyone can run that VIN and easily tell if the NHTSA recall was done by WH, since WH is the only one that can put it in their records. I know you think you are doing the safe thing but if I were you, I would just have the fluid changed at some other shop, and then drive carefully to a Workhorse approved service center. I should add that WH certified a LOT of shops to do the recall work. I had mine done at an RV dealer near me. All you have to do is call and they will tell you if they are authorized to perform the recall.
