What this means for you

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 defect involves a risk-of-harm product (reduced visibility increasing crash risk) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Newell Coach Corp. is recalling certain 2017-2020 P50 motorcoaches. The recall addresses a defect where the passenger side wiper arm linkage may be too short. This issue can cause the wiper to malfunction and rotate in a downward position.

If the wiper rotates downward, visibility through the right side of the windshield may be reduced. This reduction in visibility increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.

Newell will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the wiper linkage with one that has been properly aligned, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on June 18, 2019. Owners may contact Newell customer service at 1-888-363-9355 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
