ON JUNE 8, 2010, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING IN OUR 2005 ///TIFFIN(ALLEGRO BAY) MOTORHOME WHEN THE BRAKES OVERHEATED AND WE LOST ALL BRAKES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE. BERGEY'S GARAGE IN FRANCONIA, PA., TRANSPORTED OUR VEHICLE TO THEIR FACILITY AND REPAIRED THE CALIPERS ON BOTH REAR BRAKES PLUS OTHER COLLATERAL DAMAGE. PICTURES WERE TAKEN AND THEY CONTACTED WORKHORSE CUSTOM CHASSIS IN TROY, MI TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY WOULD COVER SINCE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 50901 C WAS ISSUED. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TIFFIN ALLEGRO BAY MOTOR HOME. HE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE #09V110000( COMPONENT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) STATING THAT THE DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS OF THE ABS SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN STEERING LOCKED UP. HE THEN DISCONNECTED THE STEERING DEVICE, WHICH WAS LOCATED UNDER THE MOTOR HOME. THIS CAUSED THE STEERING TO FREE UP, AND HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE DEVICE HAD BEEN TAKEN BACK TO BLUE OX . THERE WAS A MACHINING PROBLEM ON A PISTON OR A CYLINDER WHICH CAUSED IT TO SEIZE UP.*AK
