Summary
THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED WITH A COVER SEAL THAT COULD DEGRADE OVER TIME, EVENTUALLY CAUSING CORROSION ON THE WIPER MOTORÂ’S PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. IF THE CORROSION PROGRESSES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COULD EITHER FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY OR STOP FUNCTIONING. IF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERATIVE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
