WE HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE AND THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. WE HAVE A WORKHORSE P32 AND I HAD TO APPLY THE E BRAKE TO STOP THE RV. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD TRUCK SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WERE EITHER BURNT OR CRACKED. THIS SURE DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WORKHORSE W SERIES AND NOT THE P SERIES!

I OWN A 2004 WINNEBAGO MOTOR HOME AND THIS PAST WEEK WHILE I WAS HAVING WORK DONE ON THE COACH, I TOLD THEM I HAD A MICRO WAVE OVEN THAT HAS BEEN STARTING UP ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON, AND COULD THEY CHECK IT OUT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS SAMSUNG MICROWAVE AND THEY GAVE ME INFO TO CONTACT THEM.
