What owners report
THIS IS A MOTORHOME WITH BOSCH DISC BRAKES. THE BRAKES DO NOT ALWAYS RELEASE AFTER A STOP. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS NOT KNOWN BY THE DRIVER UNTIL YOU SMELL BRAKES BURNING OR THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE IT HAS MELTED FROM THE HEAT. IT CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BEARINGS, AND OTHER AXLE COMPONENTS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DISC CALIPER PISTON NOT RETRACTING OCCASIONALLY AFTER A STOP. I HAVE HAD SEVEN FAILURES THAT I KNOW ABOUT, AND KNOW THAT I HAVE HAD MORE BECAUSE I CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE COMPONENTS. OTHER OWNERS OF MOTORHOMES WITH THIS TYPE OF BRAKE CALIPER HAVE REPORTED ON THE INTERNET OF FIRES AND LOSS OF
