Recall 09V-245: 2005–2008 Gulf Stream Independence, 2003–2007 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager
GULF STREAM COACH, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Jul 1, 2009, covering about 15 vehicles.
The problem
Gulf stream is recalling 15 motorhomes equipped with axles that include bosch zops or zoht pin slide hydraulic disc brakes. When combined with occasional or seasonal vehicle operation may experience calipers sticking in the applied position. This can result in abnormal heat generation at the wheel end causing brake drag.
The risk
The driver would normally detect the brake drag but if undetected the temperature increase at the wheel end can eventually lead to soft pedal conditions due to brake fluid boil, and possible extended stopping distance increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the necessary components free of charge. Workhorse is handling the remedy and owner notification for this campaign please see 09v-110. Owners may contact workhorse at 1-877-246-7731
