Summary: Regular nuts, instead of locking nuts, were used to secure an extension arm from the forward side of the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arm. The non-locking nut can loosen and allow the extension arm to "slip" off the tapered shaft causing the wipers to cease to function.
Consequence: Non-functioning wipers results in reduced visibility forthe driver in inclement weather conditions and increases the risk of occurrenceof an accident.
Remedy: Replace the regular nuts with a locking nut.
Notes: System: visual systems.vehicle description: buses.

Has your Starship been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Starship dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
