Potential Number of Units Affected: 155149 Manufactured: 03/1996 - 05/1997
Defect Summary:
The windshield wipers may stop working due to a separation between the drive pin and crescent in the crank arm assembly.
Consequence Summary:
Driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will inspect these vehicles for the presence of a plastic water deflector and, if necessary, replace the wiper motor crank arm and install a water deflector. On vehicles receiving a replacement crank arm and new water deflector, dealers will also apply additional sealing material to improve water deflection away from the crank arm assembly and will install a reinforcement to improve the performance of the wiper park mechanism.
