I posted the following on RV.Net:

I would like to respectfully ask the moderators to consider making this a sticky.
I spoke to The Director of Service for Workhorse over at Navistar (Workhorse Parent Company). I expressed my concern with not really knowing what is going on with the brake recall and also being concerned for my family safety with regards to my RV.
Even though he would not give me a time, my impression is that we will be seeing recall replacements beginning sometime mid-summer.
Meanwhile, he offered to give me his contact info and some documentation that might be helpful for those of us with the brakes in question.
I want to be very clear before I go any further. I am not affiliated in any way to Workhorse or Navistar and if you would check my posts, you will find that I came from TT's over to Class A's fairly recently.
I am under the impression that the person I spoke to is on top of the problem and is willing to answer questions and concerns that I have. I told him that I would post whatever I hear from them here so others can benefit. He asked that I not give his contact info as he would be inundated by calls. I respectfully agreed so no names here. I will tell you though that if you don't feel there is enough info here, either PM me and I will forward it to him or do the same thing I did and call Navistar to get the same info I have here. Also, I am sending him the link to this thread so he can monitor it and perhaps....who knows....maybe he will answer questions/concerns here. Either way, they will know about this thread which is why I respectfully ask the moderators to sticky this thread.
I received three docs that I want to share with you. They are as follows:

-This doc is an informative doc for Workhorse service centers and includes photos and descriptions of the brake problems.

Tech Report 3 Mountain Driving 12-11-09.pdf
-This doc is a Technical Report on using the engine for braking and giving suggestions for mountain/hill driving.
This is the best info I have received from Workhorse thus far. This information helps me to get down to facts and not as much speculation. As I hear more, I will update this post and hope that it becomes a sticky.
Thank you
