There was a recall on the refrigerator in my motorhome , prior to the recall i had never had a problem with the refrigerator ... The manufacturer sent someone to the r.v.to put the recall kit on it and a short time later it caught fire , done approximately $7000.00 of damage to the unit.... I definitely believe this was a manufacturer defect problem .
My problem deals with the recall on the dometic refrigerator that is installed in my rv.my refrig. Falls in the group of affected units.the recall addresses replacing a shield over the gas (flame) to protect against fire if the tube, on the refrig. Cracks, and leaks onto the flame therefore causing a fire.i understand this, however this is not the problemthe tube breaking is the problem and that causes the fluid to leak down onto the gas/flame.the company tells me that theyare not repairing the defective/ cracked tubes.this seems completely absurd to me.they are not fixing the problem only the possibility of a fire after their defective product brakes causing the leak.
The auto park brake (j72)on my workhorse w-24 chassis activated while traveling 65 mph on arkansas interstate 35 bringing the vehicle to a very abrupt stop. In researching the internet, i have found this is not a new problem. This is a very dangerous situation, especially if no berm was available to pull off the highway. After being towed to a repair shop and waiting 10 days for repair, we were notified no parts would be available until early may.upon returning home (ohio), we have discovered there is currently no one making the parts and maybe they could be available some time in august.it is very discouraging that workhorse does not have a supply of parts available.

After exiting interstate, stopping at end of ramp, making left turn, proceeding 2 miles then turning left into campground, my brake pedal went to the floor and pumping barely got us stopped. Upon exiting mh the hot brake smell and smoke were coming from rear tires.we let mh sit for time to cool brakes so we could get to parking spot.emer. Road service was called and we were towed next day to repair shop for motorcoaches.repair needed was extensive and all associated brake parts were replaced including pads,calipers, oil seals, abs sensors, rear end fluid, brake fluid flushing.front brakes were inspected, found ok, but pads were replaced as precaution.the brakes had hardly been used during drive on interstate since i have exhaust brake.there had been no previous trouble with brakes.we had another incident of rear brakes overheating 8/19/11 after driving several miles on level road.there were only 2 times brakes needed to be used and both gentle stops. Mileage 42174.mechanic was called to check for damage but we were lucky, he found none.while in vegas we had recall fl577c (brake switch) done and i asked service mgr.about brake recalls of other kinds he said none.i had also asked previous service mgr. About recalls on brakes because i was aware bosch brake recall on workhorse chassis, again none was the answer.
Traveling down road and smelled burning. Parked after a short distance until next day. Brakes were not releasing. Next day after cooling, the vehicle was taken to a service facility, however advised brakes were fine. Approximately a month later i was bringing the vehicle to a dealer for an unrelated matter. I had driven approximately 75 miles and was near the dealer when the same smell occurred. Dealer found the left front brake caliper had failed. It was changed. Approximately february of this year, i had left my house and traveled approximately 3 miles when same smell appeared and brakes dragging. Turned around and went home. The right front caliper had failed and melted the abs sensor which have since both been changed. Concerned about rear brakes failing.
I read recently in a tiffin magazine (volume 13, #1) about a carlisle hydraulic park brakefailure. I am the original owner.although i have not experienced a failure yet, i am anticipating such failure.
2006 allegro bay. Consumer writes to acknowledge the very prompt and professional assistance rendered when he experiencedbrake failure *tgwthe consumer received a recall notice in the mail regarding the brakes. However, there was no permanent fix for the problem. The consumer didn't state which model of the workhorse chassis he has.
Brakes became hot after descending a steep hill. But did not cool off while driving on flat highway for 40 miles. They became extremely hot after 40 miles and pedal required vigorous pumping to activate at all when i pulled into a rest area. There was no indication of brake failure before turning into the rest area because i did not have to apply the brakes while driving on the flat road.after cooling overnight the brakes were normal.
