Country Coach Inc: Visibility › Windshield Wiper/Washer
Country Coach Inc reported this defect to federal regulators on Jun 21, 2002 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 8. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEMS." THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM MANUFACTURED BY AM EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLED ON THESE MOTOR HOMES WAS DETERMINED NOT TO MEET THE MINIMUM PERCENT OF AREA TO BE WIPED WHILE THE MOTOR HOME IS DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH OR MORE.
The risk
THE FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM TO ADEQUATELY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD COULD LEAD TO A REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY DURING CRITICAL PERIODS WHEN SURFACE WIPED IS REDUCED AND COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS, WIPER MOTOR PANTOGRAPHS, WIPER ARMS AND BLADES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JULY 1, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT COUNTRY COACH AT 1-800-452-8015.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 02V149000.
