I hope you never have a problem, but if you do, get your unit to a Workhorse Dealer however possible.

In Va the closest one who could do the work is 140 miles away. I opted to have the work done locally and use cross referenced parts from a local supply house. Didn't work. Had a vibration when applying the brakes that wouldn't go away.

Drove it with great apprehension and left at 3 AM to miss traffic to Charlottesville, to a Work Horse dealer. After 23 days and four new rotors, the vibration was gone. The moral to this story is, if you have to have a local mechanic do your work at least get quality parts from WorkHorse or a dealer in RV parts, OEM engineering happens to sell good stuff.

I was able to return the defective rotors for a refund, but what turmoil and frustration till the problem was solved. Good Miles
