abarkl,
That is the only language they will understand, taking our money elsewhere is our best defense. If they were worth anything on trade mine would be gone in a heartbeat.

abarkl, That's too bad when you do your best and it goes for naught. I do know one thing, once the campaign is completed on your vehicle, (regarding) "the new owner" there's an excellent chance that this won't ever happen again and he'll never have another brake problem.
If it does after all the effort that went into this campaign, then I would say look at pilot error more seriously. In my opinion, I can't see where you blow the same rotors twice in 3 years.
Regarding FCCC brakes, if you're looking at a FRED, it will have the same brakes you have now. Regarding an RDP, I would put my brakes up against anyone in a skid pad test. My brakes stop my rig practically on a dime. That said UFO brakes will exceed the performance of an equivalently weighed any thing else. Period.
Our Workhorse brakes are excellent in stopping and once the campaign is completed, this angst will all be behind us. Good luck!

I had a recall brake campaign completed on my '01 Workhorse chassis W22 back in '05. When will it ever end.

abarkl, That campaign was released by Bosch. They had to change the caliper pins because they were binding. This was not the fault of Workhorse. Campaign number: 50401-C (I believe.)
Some owners out there still need to have this campaign completed BTW. A lot of folks just throw the campaign letters in the garbage.
If the vehicle is resold I understand the dealer has to accomplish and clear the campaign.

I know, Workhorse is never at fault.

One thing I am going to take a stab at - I don't believe it was your fault however I don't know everything about the history and what happened in the time between the rotor failures.

Nothing but regular maintenance and miles of road.
