The windshield wipers get out of sync and collide, usually it ends up with the passenger wiper stuck down behind the driver's wiper and they both stop with no way to clear the rain from the windshield. There have been recalls issued for my model & year of RV but THOR says they don't apply to my RV. This has happened several times. My "solution" is to remove the passenger wiper.
NHTSA complaint 11490667This is a 2016 THOR Windsport 29M with 9400 miles. Missing parts/damaged parts were discovered during normal maintenance check by certified ASE mechanic. RT rear anti sway bar retainer (#5486), (2) HB3 Bolts and (1) welded flange nuts are missing from motorhome. Additional inspection revels top welded flange nut missing due to weld not holding or never welded correctly. Bottom flange nut internal threads are galled and will not accept a correct M10 bolt.
NHTSA complaint 11481288While driving during a rain storm both wipers stopped working. Drivers wiper fell to drivers side resting on side rear view mirror and passengers fell down front of the RV. Pulled over and stopped until rain stopped. After looking in engine compartment the hardware that connects both wiper arms to the motor broke off from where the wipers arms connect. No indication of failure until both arms just broke off. Looks like they broke because of stress moving the wipers across windshield. Not sure if poor design of poor metal used.

NHTSA complaint 10895360PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SLAMS DOWN UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER CAUSING ALL WIPER ACTION TO CEASE DURING RAINSTORMS. CREATES A DEADLY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AN 11 TON UNIT DOWN THE ROAD.. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE SYSTEM - TOO THIN OF A MOUNTING PLATE FOR THE WIPER MOTOR ALLOWING TOO MUCH FLEX WHICH ALLOWS WIPER LINKAGE FROM MOTOR TO ARMS HANG UP ON MOTOR MOUNTING BOLTS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHICH SAY THEY FIXED IT. THEY DIDN'T.
