Recall 2001004

The issue

On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper linkage may disengage due to a cracked or fractured ball socket, which could potentially result in sudden and complete loss of windshield wiper function without prior warning. In adverse weather this condition could result in reduced driver visibility and a possible crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the wiper assembly module.

Description (français)

Par mauvais temps, une panne d'essuie-glace réduira la visibilité du conducteur qui risque alors d'avoir un accident. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter et, le cas échéant, remplacer le module des essuie-glace.
