What this recall means for you
Certain Thor Motor Coach motorhomes from model years 2014 to 2016 may have windshield wiper systems that were installed or secured incorrectly. Because of this, the wipers may stop working, which would reduce the driver's ability to see the road in rain, snow, or other poor weather.
Reduced visibility raises the risk of a crash. If your wipers stop working or behave unexpectedly, avoid driving in bad weather if possible and have the vehicle checked as soon as you can.
The repair is free. Thor Motor Coach will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will inspect the wiper system and repair or replace it as needed. Some vehicles were previously remedied under recalls 17V-096 or 17V-162 but may still need additional work under this campaign. Contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall number RC000146), and check your VIN for any open recalls.
