Foretravel on certain motor homes equipped with a dual wiper motor system, a circlip (snap ring) which holds each rod end of the variable arch lever in place is missing.
The short version
FORETRAVEL, INC. reported a problem with the windshield wiper/washer linkages. Here is what owners need to know.
ON CERTAIN MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A DUAL WIPER MOTOR SYSTEM, A CIRCLIP (SNAP RING) WHICH HOLDS EACH ROD END OF THE VARIABLE ARCH LEVER IN PLACE IS MISSING.
THE ROD END BEARING MAY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE ARCH LEVER AND THE DRIVER WIPER ARM CAN STOP MOVING DURING OPERATION. DEPENDING ON THE OCCURRENCE AND WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH PARTS AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLATION OF THE CIRCLIPS AND HOW TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, free of charge.
