The park-brake and park has failed twice on my 2001 motor home on a workhorse chassis. The first time under warranty at 25,784 miles and the second at 43,634. The vehicle freely rolls when this happens. There is no way to stop it from rolling except to block the tires. This mh has a gvw of 18,000 pounds. Very dangerous when rolling freely.

- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: motor home and commercial chassis. The rear axle u-bolts may not be tightened correctly due to random failure of production tooling in the specified time span.
- Risk
- Low u-bolt torque can result in u-bolts coming loose and not properly retaining the rear axle to the vehicle, resulting in a loss of vehicle control.
- Remedy
- Dealers will tighten the rear axle u-bolts. Owner notification is expected to begin october 10, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact workhorse at 1‑877‑946‑7731.
