2002 Winnebago Adventurer Brakes Problems

“Previous recall from workhorse custom chassis was for the brake calipers hanging up after a prolonged storage of the motor home (rv). This recall repair was done in a timely manner. I had to put my motor home in for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance. A wheel seal had to be replaced. Upon inspection of the wheel seal problem, the authorized Winnebago dealership's service department discovered that the new brake calipers had stuck again, thus overheating the brake pads and brake rotors. The rotors are glazed and have heat stress cracks.”

“Dt: caller said the passenger rear brake was dragging. Recall 04v084000 was issued in january. He took vehicle to the dealer to get the brakes checked, and they fixed the one that was dragging.

“The contact owns a 2002 Winnebago Adventurer rv. The contact stated that the brakes are not working. While driving various speeds, the brakes locked intermittently.
