Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the wiper failure increases the risk of a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

AM Equipment (AME) is recalling certain Windshield Wiper System Part No. 102-1095 manufactured between February 5, 2013, and July 22, 2013. The defect involves a pivot shaft that may loosen, which allows the wiper to disengage from the vehicle while it is operating.

If the wiper arm disengages during use, the wipers will fail to operate during periods of poor visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The affected units were sold to Entegra Coach and Jayco, Inc.

Entegra and Jayco will notify owners, and dealers will replace the wiper arm at no charge. AME supplied replacement wiper kits for Entegra and Jayco to install. The recall began in August 2013. Owners may contact Entegra Coach at 1-800-945-4787 or Jayco at 1-800-283-8267.
