Kodiak Disc Brakes Maintenance

We had to replace the callipers on our 2014, due to a brake controller issue, apparently there was feed going from the controller, without braking which overheated the callipers. The rims were running hot, so I took it into a hub and axle shop shop for inspection. The piston boots were damaged and the brakes partially seized due to the heat. The rotors were not damaged.

Also installed a new controller, adjusted the brake pedal sensitivity, and readjusted the gain on the controller, less aggressive.

The coach travels 3,000 miles a year, but heavy stop and go traffic and any controller issues may well affect your caliper and pad wear.

Suggest a qualified shop inspect brakes, boots pads and pistons. Im not sure what the kodiak maintenance schedule is but annual now for our unit when it gets a its annual maintenance completed every October. Our dealer has never suggested brake inspection, so I'm going to a brake and hub shop, just in case his rv techs don't have the credentials.
