- Risk
- If the windshield wipers do not properly contact the windshield, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

What this recall means for you
Some motorhomes have windshield wiper arms with an incorrect bend, so the wipers may not properly contact the glass. When the wipers do not sweep the windshield fully, the driver's view can be reduced in rain or other wet conditions, which increases the risk of a crash.
The manufacturer will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will replace the wiper arms at no charge. The recall began on August 3, 2018. You can contact Newmar customer service at 1-800-731-8300 for more information. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls, and if your wipers are not clearing the windshield properly, have them inspected promptly.
