What is wrong
CONTACT MAY OCCUR BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND A HUCK BOLT COLLAR WHICH CAUSES A GEAR WITHIN THE MOTOR TO FRACTURE RESULTING IN COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM.
What can happen
FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM REDUCES THE OPERATOR'S ROAD VISION IN INCLEMENT WEATHER AND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND REMOVE THE HUCK BOLT AND REPLACE IT WITH A PULL-TYPE RIVET.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
