Workhorse Campaign No 51101-C is completed on my coach.  I picked it up today and the new brakes feel great.  I had new pads and rotors so that is is a complete brake job.

This is just in time for my annual fall trip North.

:-[ :-[  Just found out from a service center the final notice is set to start on the 17th. What I have been told is that there will be "Preferred" Service Centers that will offer a "Package" for $1,500.00 that will include pads, rotors and seals. The new calipers have a new piston material and should not have the problems the old one had. I hope this ends the saga of bad brakes!!!  ;D

You saying that they are charging you guys for their recall?

The calipers are replaced as part of the recall.  If you want pads, rotors, seals and fluid, you pay for it.
I thought it was better to have a complete brake job, rather than just a caliper replacement.

Brake fluid is included in the caliper kit, and there should be no charge for brake fluid.

Yes Mike, for each Caliper Kit, there is 1 quart of fluid included, so that means that 2 quarts will be provided for 4 calipers.  A brake flush will be completed with the caliper change, so an owner shouldn't be charged.

You might want to check your resources. Only 2 qts are being provided. It takes at least 3 and is being reported if we want a comp flush, we have to pay.

Got mine done too and between the Workhorse recall and the dealer, I was not charged for anything. After all these years, feels good to know that I no longer have defective brakes or brake concerns in the back of my mind while traveling the highway.

Wonder if I can take back that infrared thermometer for a refund...
