Recall 1991073

The issue

THE NUTS WHICH HOLD THE WIPER MOTOR TO THE WIPER MODULE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TIGHTENED AND MAY LOOSEN OR COME OFF. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE WIPER PATTERN MAY SHIFT OR, IN SOME CASES, THE WIPER MAY JAM OF TWO OF THE THREE NUTS HAVE COME OFF. JAMMED WIPERS COULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. CORRECTION: MOUNTING NUTS/STUDS WILL BE INSPECTED FOR LOCTITE AND WILL BE REINSTALLED AND TORQUED WITH LOCTITE IF REQUIRED.

Description (français)

Il se peut que les écrous qui retiennent le moteur des essuie-glaces au module des essuie-glaces n'aient pas été serrés suffisamment et qu'ils se détachent. Dans cette éventualité, il se peut que la course de balayage soit modifiée ou, dans certains cas, que les essuie-glaces se coincent si deux des troix écrous se sont détachés. Si cela se produit, la visibilité du conducteur en sera réduite par mauvais temps.
