Description of the problem	I have a 2004 winnebago that is part of the recall for hydraulic brakes, recall 09v110000. This recall is due to "piston expansion" in the caliper that cause the brake pad to lock up and create excessive heat. I have been in touch with workhorse on this matter and i am not satisfied with their performance on dealing with this problem. I have had numerous incidents with this problem for the last 2 years and i have paid out-of-pocket for repairs which involved abs sensors and wheel bearings. My question to you is - when the piston expansion occurs and/or there is evidence of brake failure, is there a high probablilty of it occuring again since the expansion due to moisture has already swollen the components? If so shouldn't workhorse replace the caliper? I have had several incidents of brake loss, fortunately, i was able to detect it in time and pull off the road to allow the fluid to cool before limping home. I maintain to workhorse that i cannot use my motorhome until this is fixed. They say that i can continue to use the unit under those conditions. I would like to have your opinion on this. I have difficulty with driving a 25000 lb. Vehicle down the road knowing that there is a high probability of complete brake failure.
