Is this the start of Workhorse again? Isuzu?
Is this the platform that may come back as the Workhorse chassis or will it come from something else? http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/gm-to-return-to-us-medium-truck-market/ar-BBl8VZz?oci...

Ford has had a history of major recalls with all of their vehicles that makes the WH brake issue seem like a minor incident.
:h What the heck are you talking about????? Every manufacturer has had recalls, every one. Just look at how many air bags are being recalled today - every manufacturer, all used the same supplier for the air bags.
Brakes on the other hand, oh I don't know...not really a big deal until you need them, then it's really not much more than the real possibility death. The worst part about this was how long WH ignored the issue, then said there is no issue, then blamed the customer, then dragged their feet once they couldn't ignore it any more. Even then, don't use your brakes hard or you'll still pay the bill.
From the link above;
Rotors with radial cracks are NOT considered recall related damage unless there is other evidence of damage. Such cracks are typical of “riding” the brakes downhill, absence of a towed car brake system and continued hard braking. If the cracks are severe enough to merit replacement, that would be at the owner’s expense.
But hey, at least they got on the pitman arm issue fairly soon, so at least you could steer when your brakes failed.
And for the record, I don't own a gas chassis - haven't since 2002, so I have no dog in this hunt. Having said that, what Workhorse did with this (lack of) recall was boarderline criminal IMO. They knowing were putting lives at stake, and the excuses they were using were absurd.
