The issue
On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper connecting linkage sockets may wear out prematurely due to insufficient greasing during assembly. This may lead to a separation of the linkage and loss of wiper function. Correction: Windshield wiper connecting linkages will be removed and replace with new links that are properly lubricated.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les douilles de raccordement de la timonerie d’essuie-glaces peuvent s’user prématurément en raison d’un graissage insuffisant lors du montage. Il se peut donc que la timonerie se détache et que les essuie-glaces cessent de fonctionner. Correction : La timonerie de raccordement des essuie-glaces devra être déposée et remplacée par des pièces de raccordement neuves adéquatement graissées.
