Recall 1988137

The issue

VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE SHEET METAL CRACKING AT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM PIVOT MOUNTINGS. THIS CAN RESULT IN DISLOCATION AND BINDING OF THE WIPER SYSTEM LINKAGE. INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING INCLEMENT CONDITIONS WOULD REDUCE DRIVER VISIBILITY AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE CRASH. CORRECTION: VEHICLES WILL BE RETROFITTED WITH A WINDSHIELD FRAME REINFORCEMENT AT THE WIPER PIVOT LOCATIONS AND WITH REDESIGNED LINKAGE COMPONENETS TO REDUCE STRESS LEVELS AT THE PIVOT MOUNTINGS.

Description (français)

Sur les véhicules concernés, une crique peut se former dans la tôle sur laquelle sont fixés les pivots des balais d'essuie-glaces, ce qui peut causer le déplacement et la torsion de la tringlerie. La panne de ces systèmes peut, par mauvais temps, diminuer la visibilité vers l'avant du conducteur.
