The issue

On certain vehicles, the outside diameter of the windshield wiper pivot shaft is smaller than the inside diameter of the wiper arm. As a result, the wiper pivot shaft could spin in the wiper arm, rendering the windshield wipers inoperable. Loss of windshield wiping capability, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the windshield wiper shaft assembly.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le diamètre extérieur de l'axe de pivot de l'essuie-glace est plus petit que le diamètre intérieur du bras d'essuie-glace. Comme résultat, le pivot de l'essuie-glace pourrait tourner dans le bras d'essuie-glace, rendant l'essuie-glace inutilisable. La perte de capacité de l'essuie-glace, si elle se produisait pendant une journée pluvieuse/enneigée, pourrait compromettre la capacité du conducteur de voir la route et ses utilisateurs, ce qui pourrait causer une collision avec dommages matériels et/ou blessures. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les arbres qui fixent les bras à la tringlerie d'essuie-glace.
