DRIVING OUT OF HOUSTON, TX, I SMELLED BRAKES SO I PULLED OVER TO ALLOW THE CALIPERS TO COOL. FOUND THE RH FRONT CALIPER WAS VERY HOT AND SMOKING. I LET IT COOL FOR 1/2 HOUR AND CHECKED FOR FREE MOVEMENT OF THE WHEEL. EVERYTHING SEEM OK SO I PROCEEDED. NO MORE THAN 1/2 CITY BLOCK, THE SMELL RESUMED AND THEN THE ABS LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. THE ABS SENSOR ON THE RIGHT FRONT WAS BURNED UP AND THE CALIPER WAS SIZZLING HOT AND THE WHEEL LOCKED UP. THIS IS THE NINTH THERMAL BRAKE FAILURE I HAVE HAD ON THIS MOTORHOME. THE SAFETY RECALL THAT WAS DONE IN 2002 DID NOT CORRECT MY PROBLEM. THEY ONLY INSPECTED MY CALIPERS AND SAID THAT I HAD THE NEW STYLE INSTALLED AND THAT NO FURTHER ACTION WAS REQUIR

AGAIN ON 18 NOV 08, ON A TRIP TO KEY WEST, FL I HAD THERMAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS TIME THE LEFT REAR CALIPER PISTON FAILED TO RETRACT FULLY AND CAUSED THE PAD TO DRAG ON THE ROTOR AND THIS RESULTED IN AN EXTREMELY HOT SITUATION, WITH SMOKE SMELL AND THEN AN ILLUMINATED ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. THIS IS THE 8TH FAILURE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED SINCE WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS MOTORHOME. MONACO REPRESENTATIVE CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THERE IS NO BRAKE PROBLEM WITH THEIR UNITS AND PLAINLY STATED ON OUR LAST PHONE CONVERSATION, THAT THEY DON'T PLAN TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY OR ANY ONE ELSE'S COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS MATER. IT IS A BOSCH PROBLEM, BUT THE SYSTEM IS INSTALLED ON A MONACO MOTORHOME. *
