Recall 2018588

The issue

On certain vehicles, water may drain from the windshield cowl area onto the front wiper link ball joint. Over time, this could result in corrosion and/or wear to the joint, which could result in the separation of the wiper link ball. If separation were to occur, the windshield wipers could become inoperative, which could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions which may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the wiper link rod with a countermeasure one, and will replace the wiper motor crank arm with a new one.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, de l'eau pourrait s'écouler de la zone de l'auvent du pare-brise jusque sur le joint à rotule de tringlerie d'essuie-glace avant. À la longue, cela pourrait corroder ou user le joint, ce qui pourrait causer le détachement de la rotule de tringlerie d'essuie-glace. S'il y avait détachement, les essuie-glaces pourraient cesser de fonctionner, ce qui pourrait limiter la visibilité du conducteur dans certaines conditions qui pourraient augmenter le risque d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer la tige de tringlerie d'essuie-glace par une tige de contre-mesure, et remplacera la manivelle du moteur d'essuie-glace par une nouvelle.
