Details

What's wrong: If the vehicle is turned off with wiper functionality left on and the wipers then become restricted, such as when covered in ice or snow, and the vehicle's battery goes dead and needs to be jump started, upon being jump started, the wipers will be inoperative.

Why it matters: An inoperative windshield wiper system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front wiper module, free of charge. The recall began on July 14, 2104.
