NHTSA Complaint #10272932 — 2000 WORKHORSE P320032

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 WORKHORSE P31 CHASSIS (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SPORADICALLY SOFTENS DUE TO THE BRAKE FLUID BOILING. IN ADDITION, THE CALIPERS BECOME STUCK IN THE APPLIED POSITION. AS A RESULT, ABNORMAL HEAT GENERATION OCCURS AT THE WHEEL END AND CAUSES THE BRAKES TO DRAG. THE STOPPING DISTANCE ALSO INCREASES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V110000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURES STILL PERSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE NOT APPLICABLE.
