Details

What's wrong: The left hand windshield wiper pivot drive arm was not mechanically staked to the pivot shaft.

Why it matters: This could allow the drive arm to disengage from the shaft leading to a loss of wiper function. The driver's visibility would be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the left hand side windshield wiper pivot assembly.
