“Loss of brakes in mountains due to over heating. Rear wheels smoking and too hot to touch. Pulled of into rest area and stayed there for 4 hours to let brakes cool down. After stopping brake pedal went to the floor until things cooled down and then pumped the brakes to get to camp ground 8 miles away. After 3 days the brakes had to be pumped in order to get brakes. 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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10348716, filed 2010-08, 32,648 miles“Our rv norcold refrigerator's alarm sounded. The fault says no co--no cooling unit. Norcold sent the high temperature sensor part as our refrigerator/cooling unit is under recall; it was installed by rv service center on 8/8/13. This week end out camping the alarm sounded again; it was reset by rv owner, but alarm sounded again. The owner can only reset it once after that it goes to rv service center for resetting. My claim number for norcold is 580811 for the part. We thought with the new part installed the alarm wouldn't go off again. Thanks.”
