- The problem
- Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers 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 risk
- 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.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v-110. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731 or coachmen at 1-574-266-4030, option 5.

Recall repairs are free. Your dealer fixes them whether or not you bought the car there - check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if yours is done. What to do
- The problem
- On motor home chassis built by workhorse and equipped with bosch brakes, the pads can drag on the rotor surface due to the pin slide.
- The risk
- A hang up or lock up may cause the calipers to over heat and not allow the driver to stop safely. This could cause overheating of the brake calipers which could result in a vehicle fire.
- The fix
- Workhorse is conducting the owner notification and remedy for this campaign. Dealers will repair the brake caliper. Owners should contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773 or coachmen at 219-825-5821.
- The problem
- On certain motor homes, travel trailers, and fifth wheel trailers equipped with samsung microwave ovens, these units were produced with a defective panel. An electrical short can occur between circuit patterns on the membrane panel, especially overlapped by a "jumper" or jump wire. This may cause the oven to activate without pressing any key pads.
- The risk
- An electrical short can occur causing the oven to activate without pressing any key pads. This could result in excessive heat, smoke, or possibly a fire.
- The fix
- Samsung will notify customers and repair the panel free of charge. In the meantime, consumers should unplug their microwave, if possible. If the consumer is unable to unplug the microwave, they should leave the door ajar until the panel is replaced. Consumers should never use the microwave oven for storage or leave any towels, paper, cloth or other products in the microwave after use. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact samsung at 800-932-3837 or coachmen at 1-219-825-5821.

2 complaints about the 2001 Coachmen Mirada
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Drove vehicle approximately 25 miles over flat land, no hills or mountains, to dump waste water. When we went to left rear of rv to open sewer access, smelled strong scent of burning brake fluid and could detect heat from wheel well. Allowed brakes ample time to cool down then drove home without incident. Brake smell was diminished when arrived at home. Drive vehicle short distances only three times since then, without incident. *Tr
When the consumer made a turn, the brake light came on and seconds later the brakes locked. As a result the parking brake and the electric brakes failed. The dealer states the brakes inadequate for the motor home. The cause has yet to be determined. Please provide additional information. *Jb
