Prevost H3-45 Recall 17V296: Cracked Wiper Arms Can Cause Loss of Wiper Function

What this recall means for you

Certain motor coaches have wiper arms that can crack where they mount to the wiper motor. The cracked arms can bend or detach from the vehicle, causing the windshield wipers to stop working.

A loss of wiper function reduces the driver's visibility in rain, snow, or other poor weather, which increases the risk of a crash.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the windshield wiper mounts as necessary. Owners can contact Prevost customer service at 1-866-870-2046 with questions. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
