Engine

I WAS DRIVING TO THE OREGON COAST IN THE MOTOR HOME WHEN I LOST POWER. J1850 NOT AVAILABLE APPEARED ON MY SPEEDOMETER AND I HAD NO PASSING GEAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAS TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE.I CONTINUED DRIVING AND AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES EVERYTHING CORRECTED AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL.I HAVE TALKED TO A WORKHORSE WARRANTY SHOP,AND THEY SAID THIS WAS AN ENGINE COMPUTER PROBLEM.THE ONLY PERSON AUTHORIZED TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER WAS A WORKHORSE DISTRICT MANAGER,AND HE HAD BEEN MOVED TO THE EAST COAST.THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM,AND WORKHORSE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED WITHOUT DELAY. THANK YOU *TR

Riptide 3

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
