Summary

Jayco, Inc. "Jayco" is recalling certain 2019 Jayco Alante and Precept motorhomes. When traveling at highway speeds, the windshield wiper arms may lift away from the windshield when the wiper speed setting is on high, decreasing the wiper's ability to clear the windshield.

Consequence

The driver's reduced visibility can increase the risk of a crash.
