What NHTSA recorded

These vehicles were built with an incorrect wiper blade assembly (17" long instead of 22" long) on the driver's side. This does not comply with fmvss no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems."

Possible consequence

The area and pattern wiped on the windshield will be reduced and could affect the driver's view in wet weather increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect for the correct wiper blade assembly and install a correct length wiper blade assembly.
