Recall number 10V584000 · Recall details
Service brakes, hydraulic
- What is wrong
- Gulf stream is recalling 15 motorhomes 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.
- 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 and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v‑110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1‑877‑246‑7731

- What is wrong
- Certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis may have been equipped with incorrect steering intermediate shafts. The spline can strip while the steering wheel is being turned.
- Risk

- Remedy
- Workhorse is conducting this recall (please see 06v148). They will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering intermediate shaft free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 1‑877‑294‑6773 or gulf stream at 1‑574‑773‑7761.
