Recall 2013352

The issue

On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper switch may have been manufactured incorrectly and could cause an electrical short when the wiper switch is moved from the OFF position to the MIST position. This would blow the fuse, causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative, potentially reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the switch.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, l'interrupteur des essuie-glaces pourrait avoir été mal fabriqué et pourrait causer un court-circuit lorsqu'il est déplacé de la position OFF à la position MIST. Cela ferait griller le fusible, ce qui mettrait les essuie-glaces hors d'usage, ce qui pourrait diminuer la visibilité du conducteur et augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer l'interrupteur.
