THERE WAS A RECALL FROM WORKHORSE / NAVISTAR AND THIS VEHICLE WAS SERVICED IN 2010 AT APPROXIMATELY 3,500 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED WORKHORSE/NAVISTAR REGARDING THE BRAKE ISSUE HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL WORK WAS PREVIOUSLY DONE AND AS SUCH THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE WORK TO BE DONE AGAIN. MY ISSUE IS THAT THIS RV HAS HAD A SECOND BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WIT LESS THAN 3,000 MILES SINCE THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED AND UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS AND RV REPAIR SHOPS I LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING REPETITIVE FAILURE WITH THESE BRAKING SYSTEMS AND AS SUCH I FEEL WORKHORSE/NAVISTAR SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIND A FIX FOR THE DEFECT AND COVER THE COST TO REPAIR THE BRAKES REGARDLESS OF THE RECALL DONE IN 2005 AS THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BUT INSTEAD SOLD THE WORKHORSE CHASSIS BUSINESS TO AMP HOLDING INC. *TR
