Visibility · Hyundai Motor America
Details
What's wrong: The windshield wiper motor circuit breaker electrical contacts were contaminated during assembly.
Why it matters: This contamination interferes with the electrical circuit continuity and prevents the windshield wiper motor from operating. Inoperative windshield wipers can contribute to reduced visibility during inclement weather increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will remove the contaminants from the windshield wiper motor circuit breaker contacts.
