Summary:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MOTOR HOMES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS EQUIPPED WITH THE SMARTWHEEL OPTION WERE IMPROPERLY GROUNDED. THE IMPROPER GROUND CAUSES THE WIPER MOTORS AND BLADES TO PERIODICALLY STOP WHEN THE MOTOR HOME IS IN TRANSIT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. |
||
|
Consequence:
FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTORS TO WORK COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF VISIBILITY DURING CRITICAL PERIODS WHEN WIPERS ARE NECESSARY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
