GENTLEMEN: IN MAY OF THIS YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING BRAKE ISSUES ON MY 2003 TIFFIN ALLEGRO MOTORHOME (VEHICLE ID #[XXX] ) WITH THE WORKHOUSE CHASSIS. THE ORIGINAL RECALL OF JULY 2004 DIDN'T COVER MY CHASSIS. ON 05/03/06 THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS LOCKED UP AND I HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB DONE ON THE MOTORHOME WHICH ONLY HAD 5,318 MILES ON IT. IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR I WAS ON VACATION IN COLORADO WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. I HAD TO CANCEL MY VACATION AND DRIVE BACK TO SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA USING MOSTLY THE TRANSMISSION TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 13,575 MILES. I HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME CHASSIS AS MINE AND ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS BRAKE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DRAGGING ON FOR OVER 5 YEARS AND WORKHORSE IS NOT FIXING IT. MY MOTORHOME IS UNUSABLE BECAUSE OF THIS AND IS SITTING IN MY YARD DEPRECIATING AND IS UNABLE TO BE SOLD IN THIS CONDITION. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CLAIMS WITH THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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.
