What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEM." WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COULD EITHER SKIP ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD OR SWING TOO FAR OUTWARD CAUSING THE BLADE TO TRAVEL INTO THE RADIUS OF THE WINDSHIELD RESULTING IN THE SPLINE OF THE WIPER ARM AND THE SPINDLE TO FAIL. THE RESULT IS A WIPER STUCK IN THE OUT POSITION.

The risk

SUCH A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM COULD IMPAIR VISIBILITY AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GEORGIE BOY AT 1-800-521-8733.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
