What NHTSA recorded

The park/run valve in the windshield wiper motor may stick in the park position. An out of balance dimension in the cylinder resulted in an undersized bore which may cause the plunger to stick. Therefore, the wiper motor may fail to start.

Remedy

The dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the windshield wiper motors for conventional models. Also, the control valves on the dash will be replaced at no cost to owner.
