Details

What's wrong: The circuit breaker for the windshield wiper motor is insufficient for the load. The breaker should have a 15 amp rating, however the vehicle was built with one rated at 10 amps.

Why it matters: The windshield wiper will stop operating if the breaker trips due to a circuit overload. If this occurs, the driver's field of vision may be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Tmc will notify owners, and dealers will exchange the breaker with a 15-amp one, free of charge. The safety recall began on September 6, 2011.
