From the Good Sam Highways magazine (Feb. 2010) ActionLine:


Give Me a Brake

WE DRIVE A
2004 Southwind built on a Workhorse chassis. Recently, we received a safety-recall notice stating that the brakes

on the RV could fail. We’d already experienced

brake failure prior to this notice and
had to take the RV in for service on two
separate occasions because of brake
issues. At the time of the repairs, the service
technician checked into any recalls and
found none. Both repairs totaled $2,361.07.
After learning of the recall, we sent a letter
to Workhorse along with all the copies of
the invoices and service records. It’s been
months, and we haven’t heard back from the
company. At the time, our rig was only four
years old and had 18,542 miles on it. We
paid for the same poorly designed equipment
that was recalled. Workhorse should
pay for the brake damages we suffered.


Arthur Backes, SUTHERLIN, OREGON


ACTION LINE:
A petition was sent to
Workhorse Custom Chassis on behalf of Good

Sam Club member Arthur Backes, prompting

the following correspondence:



Thank you, Action Line, for your assistance.

We recently received a check from

Workhorse in the amount of $2,361.07.


Maybe Robin Duffield, the ACTIONLine editor, can help the rest of the WH owners out!

We too have experienced brake problems and talked with WH. We understood they haven't decided on the fix yet so did they just repair to original manufactured state? We plan to take our coach in but wondered what repair to expect.Offtherack

I think we've alrerady seen this case presented here elsewhere. There are indeed many iRV2 owners that are getting reimbursed without having to go through the Good Sam process.
