NHTSA recall 18V387000
Visibility · Newmar Corporation
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles are equipped with windshield wipers that may have an incorrect bend, possibly preventing the wiper arms from properly contacting the windshield. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems."
Why it matters: If the windshield wipers do not properly contact the windshield, the driver's visibility may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper arms, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2018.
