What this recall means for you
The windshield wiper system on certain motorhomes may have been installed incorrectly. As a result, the wipers can fail during use, which reduces the driver's ability to see the road.
Reduced visibility can increase the risk of a crash. If your motorhome is affected, have the wipers checked as soon as possible, and avoid driving in rain or other conditions where you depend on the wipers until the repair is done.
The repair is free at an authorized dealer. Dealers will verify that the wiper system is installed correctly and will repair or replace it as needed. Owners may contact Thor Motor Coach customer service at 1-877-855-2867 (recall number RC000161). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
