⚠️ What's wrong
Universal specialty is recalling 12 my 2002-2006 Eagle class a motor homes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. The calipers on these brakes may stick when the brakes are applied, which CAN result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.

If the brake drag is left undetected,the temperature increase at the wheel end CAN eventually lead to soft pedal conditions and extended stopping distances, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

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.)
