Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the windshield wipers cannot be used, driver visibility would be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Ace, Challenger, Daybreak, Hurricane, Miramar, Outlaw, Windsport, Palazzo, Tuscany, and Tuscany XTE motorhomes.
The windshield wipers may fail due to the system being incorrectly installed or secured.
