While test driving my rv, prior to sale, the brakes overheated. Investigation by a service center (golby motor corporation) revealed the problem were the brake calipers. When I checked online, I found what appeared to be a recall for this problem, 51101-c. However when investigated by the service center and using the workhorse online verification system, we were told that this VIN was not affected. I believe the recall should be reviewed for additional additions or a new recall considered, if the defect is different than the one identified in the stated recall.

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.

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.
