Consumer Description

2001 ALLEGRO RV WITH WORKHORSE W22 CHASSIS. "BRAKE DRAGGING" ISSUE. DROVE THROUGH A SMALL TOWN AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHERE I HAD TO STOP AT THREE STOP LIGHTS. AFTER LEAVING THE TOWN AT ABOUT 50 MPH I SMELLED A BRAKE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. STOPPED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT REAR BRAKES WERE SMOKING. STOPPED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES UNTIL I COULD TOUCH THE BRAKE DISKS WITH MY HAND AND RESUMED TRAVEL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING AGAIN. I STOPPED FOR A HOUR TILL THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY COOL TO THE TOUCH AND CONTINUED 30 MINUTES TO MY HOME WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. REPLACED BRAKE FLUID. WORKHORSE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED IN THE BRAKE RECALL AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT IT MET THE CAME CONDITIONS AND PROBLEMS OF THE VEHICLES WHAT WERE HAVING "BRAKE DRAGGING" PROBLEMS. *TR
