A wheel caliper will stick unpredictably, while driving, and cause braking components to get hot and leading to brake failure. This vehicle has only 36,000 miles and the brakes have had repairs 4 times. There was a recall on the calipers on some of the workhorse chassis, with the exact same problem but we have been told that this vehicle was not included in the recall. We would like to get some help in trying to solve this issue and get the brakes fixed to work as they should. Could you please help?

Equipment
- What is wrong
- Coachmen is recalling certain recreational vehicles equipped with 1200-series norcold refrigerators. The population of refrigerators being addressed contains either a sensing algorithm or thermal switch to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected in order to prevent a potential fire. The response times of the sensor algorithm and thermal switch devices to stop power are not sufficient.
- Risk
- The sensing algorithm or thermal switch installed to shut off power to the refrigerator when high temperatures are detected due to a possible hydrogen gas leak may not shut off in sufficient time to prevent a fire.
- Remedy
- Coachmen is working with norcold to identify and notify any affected owners. Owners will be instructed to contact norcold dealers to receive the remedy free of charge. Please see norcold's defect report 10e-049 for additional information. The safety recall began on february 21, 2011. Owners may contact norcold at 1‑800‑767‑9101.
Recall number 11V065000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic: fluid
- What is wrong
- Coachmen is recalling 2,555 my 2000-2009 georgie boy and coachmen recreational trailers equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag. The driver would normally have warning of the brake drag if undetected by the driver.
- Risk
- The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy for this campaign please see 09v‑110. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact workhorse at 1‑877‑246‑7731 or coachmen at 1‑574‑266‑4030, option 5.
