Just in case you missed it, here is the recall information for those of us effected by the break recall. I would urge anyone that has not experienced a problem yet to still have an inspection done to make sure your brakes are really OK. We have had this problem several times and had all our breaks serviced at one time or another in the past few years and have even had repeat problems on repaired breaks. Thank goodness we never had problems will all breaks at the same time. If you notice any fluid marks on your tires you have probably had an excessive problem. Hopefully we can all get serviced over the winter months. Our dealer has told us that even though our breaks have been fixed in the past we will still need to have further service under the recall with the new replacement parts.
Good luck.

Fleetwood is recalling 509 MY 2001-2008 Class A motor homes equipped with axles that include BOSCH ZOPS or ZOHT pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver. The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact Workhorse at 1-877-246-7731. Workhorse will conduct te owner and dealer notification.
Good luck.
