My 2003 Pace Arrow 37a w22 14k is in the shop for the 2nd time in 11 months and less than a thousand miles. Both failures involved calipers not releasing ,the 1st time was passenger rear. this time it was passenger front. Ironic both failures were within 5 miles of the Workhorse repair shop I was taking the rig in for the Cat recall . and the second time for the dash recall. My vin # is not involved in the brake recall, but in my mind maybe it should be. I asked Workhorse for a 4 wheel brake inspection and was refused, I told the shop I will pay for it for my peace of mind. The shop still has it and said they are waiting for Workhorse to ok some problems they found on the driver side rear.. I am still shocked at WH refusal to inspect all my wheels after 2 of 4 wheels failed. I forgot to mention the scary part was the brake pedal went half way to the floor, but would pump up and then fade again.
Hope it gets fixed right.

You are VERY fortunate that the failures occurred close to a svc ctr and no harm done. I agree that WH should have a vested interest in inspecting your brake system on their nickle, considering the circumstances.

I called WH yesterday to confirm that I was not on the brake recall, so I'm interested in your findings.

Pls keep us informed of your progress.

Welcome dbcolli to irv2.
Sorry to hear of your problem a young coach to have this problem and can't understand why WH won't inspect if your willing to pay for it. They must have found something wrong with your braking sys if they are contacting WH. Let us know what happens maybe someone on irv2 can help if they don't resolve the problem.
I just read a post by DriVer concerning recalls, if you read the sticker on wall beside the drivers seat it will give you the date of MFG of your chassis, he mentioned early 03. My chassis was made in OCT 02 haven't had any brake problems an no recall from WH. "007"

If you go to workhorse.com and select "Motorhomes" and then the "My Workhorse" tab you can register and then you can see any campaigns that pertain to "your" chassis. Have you VIN# handy.
