2005 Foretravel U270 & 2005 Foretravel U295 + 3 more recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
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 risk
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.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be provided with parts and detailed instructions on installation of the circlips and how to complete the repair. The recall began on june 29, 2005. Owners may contact foretravel at 1-936-564-8367.
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.)
