The brake caliper(s)locked causing damage to the rotors, calipers, pads and ABS sensors. There was a recall from workhorse / navistar and this vehicle was serviced in 2010 at approximately 3,500 miles. I have contacted workhorse/navistar regarding the brake issue however they stated that the recall work was previously done and as such they would not cover the work to be done again. My issue is that this rv has had a second brake system failure wit less than 3,000 miles since the recall work was performed and upon researching this issue with other owners and rv repair shops I learned that this is an ongoing repetitive failure with these braking systems and as such I feel workhorse/navistar should be held accountable to find a fix for the defect and cover the cost to repair the brakes regardless of the recall done in 2005 as they have not corrected the problem but instead sold the workhorse chassis business to amp holding inc.

Caliper/brake lock up and excessive heat/burning/smoking (ABS sensors burned out due to heat). Manufacturer (workhorse) has aparently known about it for years, delaying remedy parts, and refused to complete "temporary" fix on all 4 wheels after a breakdown on affected vehicle. This causes multiple breakdowns and potentially dangerous situations to both occupants and others around. We were "authorized" for repair on only 2 wheels. Due to break down trip had to be canceled. Rv was left for repairs at an authorized dealer 300 miles from our home. We went back to pick it up 1 month later and after 50 miles, a third brake locked up causing motorhome to start swaying side to side and placed excessive pull on engine trying to get to safety. Brakes will lock up and stay locked up or drag with no notice. We had to retun rv to repair shop again for more "authorization" prior to any repair, causing another trip cancelation. This is over 300 miles from our home causing further undue hardship. We were told it will be "doubtfull" they will authorize 4th wheel repair forcing us again to abandon driving or using vehicle until proper parts are available. We are currently awaiting a response from workhorse.

While driving my 2004 pace arrow motorhome, my ABS warning light came on; when I stopped to check out the vehicle, I noted that the right front wheel was smoking. Immediately drove 12 miles to an rv service facility, where it was discovered that the brake caliper had frozen in an engaged position, overheating the wheel components and disabling the ABS system for all 4 wheels. Upon further investigation, I found that workhorse, the chassis mfr. For my rv, had issued a safety recall for faulty brake calipers for the 3 model years preceding my unit. The service facility replaced the following parts: r/f caliper, wheel speed sensor, front wheel cap, wheel seal, brake pads, brake fluid.
