What NHTSA recorded

The windshield wiper arm can interfere with the main cab dash harness which passes behind the center dash section. The wiper arm can wear through one or more of the wires in the harness and cause a short circuit.

Possible consequence

In electronic engines (caterpillar only) or dda engines, the engine would stop. If the engine were to stop suddenly when the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed and maneuvering through traffic, there would be a potential for a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will modify the main cab wiring harness routing.
