2003–2006 Triple E RV Commander & 2000 Triple E RV Embassy recall: brakes

⚠️ What's wrong

Triple e is recalling 16 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This CAN result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.

💥 The risk

The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end CAN eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09V-110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
