While traveling down the road in a heavy down poor, the windshield wipers stopped working. We were able to pull off to the side of the road where I tried to resecure them but to no avail. I eventually got our rv to a service facility and the technicain told us this was a common problem and thor had a recall for this issue. We purchased this 2016 miramar new but never received a recall notice.

S10 appropriate handling - enclosing a list of major issues with the 2016 thor miramar 34.4 motor home. *ld the consumer stated the right side windsheild wiper traveled to far to the left and would get stuck. The wiper was repaired 3 times, but the failure recurred.

Windshield wipers do not stay on the windshield. The passenger side wiper goes beyond the wiper stop and continues down below windshield and get stuck on body. Windshield wipers will not return to windshield. This happens in park, in city and on the highway. Took the motor coach to the repair shop to get fixed. Repair shop said they fixed it. The next time I turn on the wipers it happened again.
