- Manufacturer: COUNTRY COACH INC

## What is wrong

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.


## What can happen

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.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL CORRECTLY GROUND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CASE.  OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 3, 2001.   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.


## Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1\-888\-DASH\-2\-DOT \(1\-888\-327\-4236\).
