Re: Brake/Rotor Wear

The calipers most likely hung up. Who ever assembled that side must of forgot the never seize. You need to find out who brakes you have, Kodiak or Dexter and call them to ship the complete rotor assembly shipped under warranty to a dealer near you. I have had Camper World in AL replace one, and 2 other dealer work with me. I paid labor and got reimbursed those times.
When mine hung up they heated till the calipers blow out loosing all fluid and braking.
I had parts sent to Yuma AZ and when the parts arrived mad an appointment and was in and out in 3 hours. I used a truck service shop there not a RV dealer and I'm very happy with the job.

One recall was for bolts braking, that doesn't sound like your problem.

The curb side rotors are showing minimal wear.
So I am 1000 miles away from our dealer.
I am no expert on brakes, just had the unit in 3 months ago for the one year warranty inspection and nothing noted on brake wear.

Any experts with technical advice, till I can get back to the dealer.
