Bosch hydraulic disc brakes on 2002 beaver monterey motor home subject to the federal safety agency recall 02v278000. Recall performed by monaco in october 2004. Subsequently, we have experienced six failures: thermal events cause by brake lock up. Two fires. This appears to be the same problem now being remedied by the federal safety agency recall 09v110000. It is the same bosch brakes on workhorse chassis manufactured by navistar (who now owns monaco rv, llc). They appear to being recalled for the same reason...overheating due to lock up caused by phenolic caliper piston absorbing moisture and sticking. According to info available original recall remedy did not require replacement of calipers; new recall appears to require that. Old recall should have based on our experience. Recommend recalling all monaco rvs originally recalled by 02v278000 for replacement of components not replaced originally. It is noted that some of the monaco products recalled in 2004 were on workhorse chassis. How many other rv chassis use the same westport axles and/or bosch disc brake calipers? If they merit recall on one rv chassis they most likely merit recall on all. After our most recent lock up and fire we were able to locate bosch caliper part number 415-3222 with steel vice phenolic pistons. We hope that we have fixed the problem; this after two fires and $5000+ in repairs.
