| Description of the problem | This is in reference to safety recall 50901-c an interim notice from workhorse custom chassis. My motorhome is involved in this recall. I experienced brake problem (over heating) returning from a trip to virginia in september 2009. I was able to get home without major problems. The motorhome was repaired with like parks (subject to failure) paid for by workhorse. Workhorse has been aware of this problem going on two years and claims to be having problems obtaining parts. In the mean time i am reluctant to use my rv for fear of brake failure again. I have spoke with reps from workhorse and they keep telling me that parts will be available soon (first it was late summer then fall or late winter and now they tell me it may spring). It seems to me that they are stalling and in the mean time i am unable (because of brake failure concerns) to use my rv. Respectfully request that someone look into this matter. |
