The hazard
On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor may have been produced without grease applied to the output shaft gear. After a period of continuous use on the high-speed setting, lack of grease may cause the gear teeth to distort and/or fracture during operation, resulting in the loss of wiper function. Depending on the occurrence and weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the wiper motor assembly.
