What NHTSA recorded

Some of these vehicles have a strained or separated washer/wiper switch power feed wire.

Possible consequence

This can cause the windshield washer/wiper to work intermittently and could ultimately result in inoperative wipers. If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the old designed washer/wiper switches with a newly designed switch.
