The issue
THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM SUPPORT BRACKET MAY CRACK WHERE THE WIPER ARM PIVOT MOUNTS TO THE SUPPORT BRACKET. THIS COULD RESULT IN SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND COULD CAUSE IMPAIRED DRIVER VISION IF THE FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. CORRECTION: WINDSHIELD WIPER ARM SUPPORT BRACKET WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED SUPPORT BRACKET.
Description (français)
Il se peut que l'équerre de support du bras de l'essuie-glace se fissure à proximité du point de montage de son pivot et que les deux essuie-glaces tombent en panne d'un seul coup, ce qui peut nuire à la visibilité du conducteur si le bris survient dans des conditions météorologiques défavorables. Correction : L'équerre du bras de l'essuie-glace devra être remplacée par un support de conception nouvelle.
