Complaint Summary

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Owner Narrative

ON NOVEMBER 10, 2011 I WAS HAVING RECALL #51101-C COMPLETED ON MY MOTOR HOME. THE MECHANIC HAD THE BRAKES APART TO REPLACE THE BOSCH BRAKE CALIPERS AND HE DISCOVERED ALL FOUR ROTORS HAD 2 -3 CRACKS ON THE OUTSIDE PLATE. THE CRACKS STARTED ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE AND RADIATED IN ABOUT 2 INCHES. THE CRACKS WERE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE PLATE. WORKHORSE REFUSED TO ADMIT THE CRACKED ROTORS MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BAD CALIPERS OR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY SUGGESTED THE CRACKS WERE CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. FOR EXAMPLE, RIDING THE BRAKES DOWN A MOUNTAIN OR TOWING A CAR WITHOUT AUXILIARY BRAKES. *TR
