2001 ALLEGRO RV WITH WORKHORSE W22 CHASSIS. "BRAKE DRAGGING" ISSUE. DROVE THROUGH A SMALL TOWN AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHERE I HAD TO STOP AT THREE STOP LIGHTS. AFTER LEAVING THE TOWN AT ABOUT 50 MPH I SMELLED A BRAKE BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. STOPPED AND DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT REAR BRAKES WERE SMOKING. STOPPED FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES UNTIL I COULD TOUCH THE BRAKE DISKS WITH MY HAND AND RESUMED TRAVEL. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING AGAIN. I STOPPED FOR A HOUR TILL THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY COOL TO THE TOUCH AND CONTINUED 30 MINUTES TO MY HOME WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. REPLACED BRAKE FLUID. WORKHORSE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT COVERED IN THE BRAKE RECALL AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT IT MET THE CAME CONDITIONS AND PROBLEMS OF THE VEHICLES WHAT WERE HAVING "BRAKE DRAGGING" PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A DOMETIC REFRIGERATOR, MODEL RM2852. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE REFRIGERATOR, WHICH STATED THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY CATCH FIRE. HE BELIEVES THAT THE REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL WOULD NOT PREVENT A FIRE IN THE EVENT THAT THE BOILER TUBE IGNITES. INSTEAD, THE ACTUAL REPAIR WOULD ONLY CONTAIN THE FIRE, RATHER THAN PREVENT THE FIRE. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER AND PART NUMBER WERE UNKNOWN. UPDATED 10-29-08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE REFRIGERATOR SHOWED SIGNS OF LEAKAGE AND THE REFRIGERATOR WAS NOT COOLING PROPERLY. THE POWER CONVERTER FAILED, THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND A SWITCH ON THE FLUID RESERVOIR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. UPDATED 10/30/08. *JB
