Workhorse problems by model
Owners have filed 237 complaints with NHTSA about the 1 Workhorse model with enough data to profile here, covering 2 model years from 2003 through 2004. The W22 draws the most at 237, 100.0% of the make's total.
Complaint volume tracks how many cars a make sold as much as how they held up, and NHTSA complaints are unverified owner reports rather than confirmed defects. Nothing on this page compares Workhorse against another manufacturer. Use it to find the model, then the model year, then read what owners of that year actually filed.

Reading the numbers
Across every Workhorse model year on the site, service brakes, hydraulic are the system named most often — 188 complaints, 83.6% of those filed under a named system. Individual model years diverge from that sharply, which is the reason to read the year rather than the badge.
Of the 237 complaints, 1 describe a crash and 13 describe a fire.
