Yes there was a brake system recall or two on the workhorse. The brakes worked all right. They worked TOO GOOD (did not release properly)
Now the brake fluid in the WH may be different than what I am familiar with but if it gets too hot it can boil this leads to soft pedal and eventually no brakes (As it gets hotter) so drive a bit and use an I/R gun to measure the heat on each wheel. if one is way way way hotter post and let the experts here decide if you have an issue. Alas workhorse.. i do not think, is around to honor the recall any more bout the brake manufacturer MIGHT and is still about.
Mine (2005) feel "Soft" compared to my car (i need more pedal pressure) but they are working 100%. New pads (front) were installed last year due to having the calipers off for OTHER reasons so I figured for an additional 100 bucks. Might as well pop on new pads.
