What can happen

Safety consequence

SHOULD A FAILURE OCCUR DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE OPERATOR'S VISION WOULD BE PARTIALLY OBSCURED.

What fixes it

Official remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIPER SYSTEM, CONDUCTING A "STALL" TEST TO VALIDATE THE INTEGRITY OF THE WELD. ALL WIPER ASSEMBLIES FAILING THIS TEST WILL BE REPLACED.
