“2013 during highway driving the brake caliper on the left rear stuck holding the brake pads against the disk. I noticed it when stopping for gas. As I removed the gas cap I saw considerable smoke rising around that left dual wheel. The wheel and tire was too hot to touch. Smoke got worse and afraid of the heat and proximity of the gas pump I moved the rv a safe distance away. I had the caliper, pads, and disc replaced. Later on a trip after repairs were made I had a tire blow out on left inside wheel. When the tire was removed I saw that it had been damaged from the extreme heat. …”
