NHTSA recall 06V144000
Visibility · Volvo Car USA, LLC
Details
What's wrong: On certain vehicles, if the wiper arm is activated in extreme winter weather conditions and without lifting the wiper arms and cleaning the windshield prior to moving, the wiper arm might slip on its driveshaft, resulting in an inability to move the wipers from the park position.
Why it matters: Inoperative wipers under inclement weather conditions could cause a crash due to impaired visibility.
The fix: Dealers will replace the wiper arms and retaining nuts. The recall began on September 5, 2006.
