Problem: On certain motorhome chassis equipped with bosch zops, the pads can drag on the rotor surface due to the pin slide.

Risk: A hang up or lock up may cause the calipers to over heat and not allow the driver to stop safely. This could cause overheating of the brake calipers which could result in a vehicle fire.

Fix: Dealers will inspect, repair and replace according to the procedure developed by bosch (see campaign 03e064000). The recall began on august 1, 2004. Owners should contact workhorse at 1-877-294-6773.
