NHTSA Complaint #11469968 — 2021 JAYCO PRECEPT

Component: Windshield wipers stopped during Interstate driving in a thunderstorm/heavy rain. It is available for inspection upon request. Visibility was reduced to near zero, putting myself and other drivers at a significantly increased risk of a crash. I steered to the emergency lane and stopped until the rain lessened, then crept to the next exit (<0.25 mi) to a Love's Truck Stop. The passenger wiper arm had slipped to a downward position completely off the windshield, but both wipers were inoperative. I found a blown 40 amp fuse for the wiper circuit but did not have a spare for replacement. After the rain stopped completely, I removed both wipers, purchased and applied Rain-X to the windshield, and continued traveling another 200 miles to home. I have not contacted a dealer, so the component/vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. There was no warning lamp or message, but just before the wipers stopped the passenger wiper began to operate in a jerking fashion. It was raining very hard and the wiper control was on FAST mode.
