VISIBILITY — Wiper Arms Lift Away from Windshield/FMVSS 104 · July 5, 2018

The problem

Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain 2019 Jayco Alante and Precept motorhomes.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."

Risk

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