What this recall means for you
Certain 2014-2015 Newmar motor homes (King Aire, Essex, London Aire and Mountain Aire models built between November 2013 and November 2014) may have wiper blades that separate from the wiper arm connectors, particularly when the wipers are set to high speed.
If a wiper blade comes off the arm, the driver may lose visibility through the windshield, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this problem, especially when driving in rain or snow with the wipers on high.
