Failure relates to safety recall 51101-c, workhorse chasis and bosch brakes calipers. Our vehicle is having the type of problems indicated in the recall notice, the brakes are seizing up and the anti lock brake light is on. My main concern is getting the vehicle to a repair shop. Workhorse in a phone conversation told me to drive the vehicle until it will not more any more and then call them for assistance. The repair shop is approx. 25 Miles from the location of the vehicle. This is the second time we have had...

this same failure, the first time being 3 years ago. At that time the brakes failed entirely while on route 75 in marietta, ga. Fortunately we were able to avoid a accident. This is a 22 thousand pound vehicle and the thought of trying to drive it again with defective brakes does not seem to be reasonable. I feel that if the vehicle is showing the symptoms which caused the recall the company should be responsible for the safe delivery of the vehicle to the repair facility. My other concern relates to the scope of the recall, they told me it was limited to the calipers which were locking up. As the alb light is on and will not go off we have obviously damaged the sensors related to that function. Also, if we drive the vehicle as suggested there will probably be other damage due to excessive heat. Any help or suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Thank you. *Tr
We own a 2003 class a gas motorhome on a workhorse chassis.

working. This recall has been going on for over a year and so far workhorse still does not have the proper calipers ready to fix over 40,000 motor homes. They refused to pay overnight shipping of our parts and wanted us to "hole up" in fort worth until the parts arrived after the new year holiday. We paid the $120.00 To have them shipped overnight and had to stay two nights in a hotel for a total of $181.00. Also they would not agree to pay for having our brakes bled which cost us $95.00. When a 35' c lass a motorhome's brakes fail, there could be imminent danger to not only the passengers but also to other drivers on the road if the motorhome cannot be stopped! We are filing this complaint not only for us, but for everyone else driving on roads who want to be safe! We need help in getting workhorse chassis executives to reimburse us for our expenses as well as fixing our problems once and for all! *Tr
