What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Prevost Cars, Inc. (Prevost) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 X3-45 VIP motorhomes, H3 VIP motorhomes and XLII-45 Entertainers and model year 2012-2014 model year X3-45, H3-41, H3-45 coaches manufactured June 6, 2011, through May 17, 2013, equipped with JAKO windshield wiper motors, model SWF403195. In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper motor housing may crack resulting in a loss of windshield wiper function.

The risk

Without functioning windshield wipers, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Prevost will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and any affected windshield wiper motor will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on February 26, 2014. Owners may contact Prevost at 1-418-883-2888. Prevost's number for this recall is SR14-02.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

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.
