Just took my 02 Itasca 35U on the W22 in for manifold leak and was advised by service rep two days later that vin shows it is included in brake recall. Had received nothing from WH prior to that. Also mechanic told me appears other side manifold looks like it had been repaired, not since I bot the unit new though. Does the 8.1 have manifold gasket/donut problems??

Ask them if you are listed as the "owner of record" for this chassis, and confirm your address. This is important because there are 3 recalls that I know of, brakes, CATs, and the EEPROM reprogram that you may be subject to.

Find out if any letters were sent out to you and where they might have been sent. Who knows what could have happened but I did get all my letters.

We have seen where some 8.1L exhaust manifolds have leaked and were in need of repair. This problem is limited in scope and may or may not effect your motorhome. There have been several posts here about exhaust manifolds and spark plugs.

Pronounced double-ee-prom or e-e-prom, short for electrically erasable programmable read-only memory. It's a chip that holds all the commands for the Actia dash cluster or digital instrument panel (IP).

Regarding the Workhorse/Bosch Brake recall.We have been doing research in Washington,Oregon,California & Arizona.There has only been 52% of the brake recalls completed.Many of the VIN's we are searching have been traded in I.E. no info on the customer.If you are not sure if your coach is one of these,E-mail me your VIN# & I'll research it.All I need is the last eight,the VIN starts with 5B4MP67G.Also if any of your friends have bought a used coach,encourage them to check the number.We have seen many coaches with cracked rotors & are now replacing everything,rotors,calipers,seals,sensors,pads & flush fluid.We will be doing these at Quartzsite also,by appointment only as we need to know how many parts to bring.Please E-mail me with your VIN #'s
