NHTSA complaint #10244103, filed 2008-10, 10,840 miles“While driving my 2004 Pace Arrow motorhome, my ABS warning light came on; when I stopped to check out the vehicle, I noted that the right front wheel was smoking.

Upon further investigation, I found that workhorse, the chassis mfr. For my rv, had issued a safety recall for faulty brake calipers for the 3 model years preceding my unit. …”
NHTSA complaint #10229295, filed 2008-05, 26,039 miles“Under normal driving conditions the brakes on my 2004 Fleetwood Pace Arrow motorhome (workhorse chassis)will periodically not release after being used to slow or stop the motorhome.
