2002 Workhorse W20 Brakes Problems

“We had a brake recall done on our 2002 itasca suncruiser motorhome (W20 chassis in jan 2005, mileage 9141. While on vacation in july 2005, the brakes overheated and repairs were authorized by Workhorse at no charge at mileage 9,687. Experienced overheating again in september 2007 at mileage 28819. Repairs done at our expense - replace rear rotor, wheel seal and brake pads, ABS ring, rear ABS sensor. After 249 miles, rear brake overheated at mileage 29,068, checked for damage due to overheating but there was none. Had to pay for labor to make this determination.”

“Took vehicle into dealer and had campaign number 04v019000 completed on 10-26-04. Now less than 10,000 miles since then, it is back at the service center after brake fire and pedal loss. Vehicle is in need of rotors, calipers and wheel speed sensor.”

“- the contact stated had recall brake work done with 31260 miles on vehicle. The dealer repaired only the front braked under the recall and not the rear. The contact stated that the recall was for both front and rear brakes, and he started to have problem with the rear brakes. He then took the rv back to the dealer and they did not honor the recall to fix the rear brakes. The contact called the manufacturer, and they told him to take the vehicle to larry's rv where the recall claim was denied as well, because he was not the first owner. Updated 1/31/2007 -”

The contact moved the vehicle off the roadway and waited for the brakes to cool. The failure occurred approximately eight times and was taken to the dealer where the brakes were bled at each failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was awaiting a diagnostic. …”
