Percentage of units effected by bad brakes

[Ervans]

Pardon me if this has already been addressed; I haven't seen it. Can anyone tell me the appx. percentage of chassis effected by chasis? ie. percent of W-20's, W-22's effected by the brake issue? I think it would be helpful to put some perspective on this. I've had one episode of lock-up on my left rear, and ?maybe the begining of another one on my right front.

Please review the documents listed here.

ODI Investigation Documents

It appears that approximately ~10% (~5,000) of the vehicles involved in the recall have exhibited the problems that have been addressed with the re-design of the new calipers.

Is the 10% the ones that have complained or is that the total that have had the failures occur?

IMO its alot more than has been reported because, some folks didnt know about this investigation and just took it to a shop and paid to have their brakes repaired and move on untill there next failure.

tpmcn, You are going to have to review all the documentation and arrive at your own conclusions.

Your question is answered in the NHTSA investigations. That's where I obtained the content that I spoke about in Post #2.
