Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a heated wiper washer fluid system. A short circuit on the printed circuit board for the washer fluid heater may overheat the control-circuit ground wire.

Why it matters: This may cause other electrical features to malfunction, create an odor, or cause smoke increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dealers will install a wire harness with an in-line fuse free of charge. The recall began on September 12, 2008.
