2004 Fleetwood Southwind Brakes Problems

“Brakes,calipers,sensors in rear lost Southwind 2004 workhorse chasis will only cover 32 percent of bill because we didn't take it to a workhorse tech. The brakes were weak we were afraid to drive to far on the hwy. We didn't know we had to take it to a workhorse tec. There is going to be a recall so the should pay entire bill regard less.”

“On 2/2/06 had Southwind motorhome in to shop with complaint of strange brake noise and ABS light being on. Other issues also.

We pulled off in only spot available and waited for it to cool down about 3 miles from our intended camping spot. …”

After calling workhorse I had to have the motor home towed to repair facility. The calipers had to be replaced which took 2 days to get approval from workhorse. …”
