Details
What's wrong: The windshield wiper linkage can disengage due to a broken ball socket.
Why it matters: This condition will likely result in sudden and complete loss of the windshield wiper function, or of the wiper function on the driver side only, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the wiper module.
