What NHTSA recorded

Regular nuts, instead of locking nuts, were used to secure an extension arm from the forward side of the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arm. The non-locking nut can loosen and allow the extension arm to "slip" off the tapered shaft causing the wipers to cease to function.

Possible consequence

Non-functioning wipers results in reduced visibility forthe driver in inclement weather conditions and increases the risk of occurrenceof an accident.

Remedy

Replace the regular nuts with a locking nut.
