Certain vehicles have an insufficient amount of lubrication between the windshield wiper motor drive arm pivot and the wiper linkage dust cover that may bind and cause the wiper linkage to separate from the windshield wiper motor. If this occurs the windshield wiper motor will still operate but the windshield wipers will not function. This condition can result in reduced driver visibility during inclement weather and a possible crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the rubber boot (dust cover) which covers the ball joint connection and lubricate the new boot where it contacts the wiper arm.
A failure of this component (visual system) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain vehicles, driving for extended periods in extremely cold ambient temperatures can cause moisture to freeze inside the throttle body idle speed control circuit and in the throttle body bore, resulting in a higher than normal engine idle speed, and the throttle valve not closing fully. This condition may result in reduced braking effectiveness on deceleration, which in turn could result in a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install a modified PCV hose and, on manual transmission equipped vehicles without air conditioning, install a condenser cover.
