2002 Country Coach Intrigue recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's 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.
💥 The risk
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 fix
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.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
