What's wrong?
The windshield wiper linkage on 2009-2011 Monaco Rv Monarch and Admiral motorhomes is the mechanical connection between the wiper motor and the wiper arms. When the driver turns the wipers on, the motor moves the linkage, and the linkage sweeps the blades across the glass. That motion keeps rain, road spray, and debris from blocking the driver's view.
On affected motorhomes, the windshield wiper system can become inoperable without warning. The recall identifies the concern in the wiper and washer linkage, so the problem is in the parts that transfer motor movement to the wiper arms. If that connection stops working, the blades stop clearing the windshield, and driver visibility is reduced.
There is no warning sign before failure. The wipers can work normally on one trip and then stop when the driver needs them.
