NHTSA is looking into problem with windshield wipers and has contacted a forum member at
iRV2 Forums
Since I had the same problem I did a forum search here and on irv2.com and found over 24 reports with identical problem description - passenger side wiper arm rotating to far and in the worst case wedging under drivers side freezing it. End result - both wipers out of commission resulting in a dangerous life safety situation. Several owners reported same failure on replacement wiper assembly and I found one owner reporting failure of original and two replacements. So it looks like Thor is continuing to use bad stock and not really fixing the problem.
So far there are several Thor products with the same problem: Challenger, Outlaw, Hurricane, Windsport and Miramar spanning product years 2013 to 2016.
If you had the problem described above or any other serious windshield wiper problem - please call or write Larry Long - your life may depend on it.
