On a recent trip my motorhome experienced a brake issue and felt like one or both front calipers were sticking/dragging (after 20-30 minutes of driving), heating the fluid and boiling it back resulting in loss of pedal pressure. After cooling brakes operate normal. Upon research it appears there is an exact recall for this know issue on the damon challenger chevy workhorse chassis. I have the damon challenger ford chassis. The related recall is: report receipt date: jun 16, 2009 the federal safety agency campaign number: 09v225000 component(s): service brakes, hydraulic I have ran my VIN and am contacting ford, however, I feel the ford chassis models should be at least reviewed to determine if it is related as they may very well be.

Have received two recall notices from ford motor co. To have the speed control deactivation switch (scds) replaced. The cruise control on my motor home was disconnected in response to the first recall notice. As of this date they still claim no replacement parts are available. I am traveling across country. If they are producing this part on a daily basis, why can't the local dealer (courtesy ford - sanford, fl near where I am currently parked) receive one to install before my next leg of the trip?? It has been over one month since it was disconnected by this dealership.
