After going through stop and go traffic in harrisburg pa the brakes gave out completely with the brake pedal going to the floor in slow traffic. There was a tiny bit of braking and the vehicle coasted on the shoulder to a stop. Lots of smoke from the brakes front and rear. Repair was over $2200 to change the left rear brake caliber that had hung up. Front right bake over heated as well melting the speed sensor and cable. Workhorse/international claims that this p32 chassic is not part of the brake recall even though it has defective brake calibers. 2001 damon daybreak rv only has 16k miles. It would be wise to advise all workhorse p32 chassis rv owners that their rv could catch fire or fail to stop and be involved in an accident. I would like to encourage the dot to force workhorse/international to do the right thing and recall this chassis and replace the brake calipers.

Rv refrigerator model #rm2852 serial # 10103282 was recalled in 2007 had it fixed then but 2 years later it still leaked fluid and yellow residue and then all the coolant ammonia and had a fire in the back of the refrigerator. If this was fixed the right way, like replacing the coolant system this would never have happen. Lucky no one was in the rv when this happened and we weren't driving down the highway. We think dometic corp. Should have fixed all the recalled refrigerator right the first time, now we have a big repair bill, when they knew this could happen.
