Brakes on my 2006 holiday rambler motorhome with a workhorse chassis I have had interm notices, but no actual recall yet, and 2 days ago my brakes went completely out while traveling on I-87 in new york state, I had my wife and grand daughter with me and luckily I was able to pull to a save stop off an exit, because no one was in front of me. I called work horse and they are sending me to a dealer in scotia ny for a fix that is only going to be until the new bosh brake caliper are available, which wont be until the end of october. This problem has been known by work horse for almost two years now, and no replacement parts are made as of yet. Here I lost my vacation time, over $264.00 in an unrefundable deposit, now I have over a two week wait to get replacement parts that are the old ones until new ones are made.two dealers have also told me that I have to put money up front to get the service done, because they feel other damage may have been done. I had no problems or brake drag until this incident, I have appx 15000 miles on my vehicle. After the vehicle sat for an hour and a half the brakes came back, but the ABS sensor stayed on. I drove safely home for 26 miles and now its parked, and I am afraid to use it. The dealer which is going to repair it said that there is a bag log, trying to get the parts, even after market.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain motor homes built on workhorse chassis and equipped with gm 8.1l v8 engines, improper hardening during the heat treatment process can cause the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip to fracture, resulting in inadequate retention of the damper. If the damper becomes loose, fuel could be pumped by the fuel pump into the under hood area.
- Risk
- In the presence of an ignition source, a fire could result.
- Remedy
- Workhorse is handling the owner notification and remedy for this campaign (please see 06v225). Dealers will replace the fuel rail pulse damper retainer clips on these engines free of charge. Owners may contact workhorse at 877‑294‑6773 or monaco at 1‑800‑685‑6545.
