What's wrong

Thor Motor Coach (TMC) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Tuscany, Tuscany XTE and Palazzo motorhomes. The windshield wiper systems on these vehicles may have been improperly installed or secured, causing the wipers to fail during operation.

The risk

If the windshield wipers fail, the driver would have decreased visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

TMC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiper system, tightening the wiper nuts to the proper specifications, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 12, 2017. Owners may contact TMC customer service at 1-877-500-1020. TMC's number for this recall is RC000128.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
