What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the wiper arm pivot pins could become loose, causing noisy wiper operation and inconsistent clearing of the windshield. Continued usage could cause the driver and/or passenger side wiper arm to separate, resulting in a loss of wiper function on that side. Loss of windshield wiping function, 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.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the wiper arm assemblies.
