Defect
SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A STRAINED OR SEPARATED WASHER/WIPER SWITCH POWER FEED WIRE.
Consequence
THIS CAN CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER/WIPER TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN INOPERATIVE WIPERS. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR IN A SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE OLD DESIGNED WASHER/WIPER SWITCHES WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED SWITCH.
“VEHICLE HIT HEAD-ON. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED. VEHICLE TOWED. AFTER REPAIRS, VEHICLE PULLS TO RIGHT/TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY/ DOOR LOCKS GO UP & DOWN WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING IS VERY HARD. *AK”
