Seems we have two posts on same subject



NHTSA site ---

NHTSA Action Number : PE07032 NHTSA Recall Campaign Number : N/A
Make / Models : Model/Build Years:
WORKHORSE / W20 2000-2005

Manufacturer : WORKHORSE CUSTOM CHASSIS
Component :
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Date Investigation Opened : June 25, 2007
Date Investigation Closed : Open
Summary:
ODI HAS RECEIVED 17 REPORTS ON MODEL YEAR 2000-2005 WORKHORSE CHASSIS RECREATIONAL VEHICLES WITH ALLEGATIONS OF OVERHEATING DISC BRAKE CALIPERS. NINE OF THE COMPLAINTS FALL WITHIN THE RANGE OF BUILD DATES TO WHICH RECALL # 04V-084 APPLIED. THE REMAINING EIGHT APPEAR TO BE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLICABLE BUILD DATES (AUGUST 2000 - JUNE 2002). OWNERS ARE CLAIMING THAT IN SOME CASES THE BRAKES BEGIN TO DRAG AND LOCK UP. ODI CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS WITH COMPLAINANTS AND SEVERAL REPORTED THAT DURING NORMAL BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATIONS, THE BRAKE LINKAGE BINDS AT A PIVOT POINT. THE BINDING MAY CONTRIBUTE TO INADEQUATE RELEASE OF THE CALIPERS CAUSING THE CALIPERS TO DRAG AND OVERHEAT. SOME OWNERS ALSO REPORT THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. OVERHEATING CALIPERS, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY, MAY CAUSE BRAKE DRAG WITH PREMATURE PAD WEAR, BRAKE LOCKUP, WHEEL END FIRE AND POSSIBLY BRAKE FLUID BOIL AND EVAPORATION. ODI BELIEVES THAT A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION IS WARRANTED TO ASSESS THE POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERNS AND SCOPE OF THIS PROBLEM.
