2003 Country Coach Lexa recall: windows, wipers & mirrors

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain motor homes fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems." the windshield wiper system manufactured by am equipment and installed on these motor homes was determined not to meet the minimum percent of area to be wiped while the motor home is driven at speeds of 55 MPH or more.

💥 The risk

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motors, wiper motor pantographs, wiper arms and blades. Owner notification began july 1, 2002. 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.)
