Issue

On certain coaches, the wiper motor may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. The wiper motor may have been connected to a circuit protected by a 7.5A fuse instead of one with a 30A fuse. Under a heavy load such as high winds, heavy rain, snow, or a dry windshield, the wipers may fail. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, rework the incorrectly installed wiring.
