The problem
On certain class a motor homes, the windshield wiper motors are under-fused and the fuse may fail.
The risk
If the fuse fails, the windshield wipers will stop functioning which would result in a decrease of the visibility of the operator and could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install a new 15 amp auto resetting circuit breaker fuse on the vehicle. The recall began on december 15, 2006. Owners may contact monaco at 1-800-685-6545.
