Official summary
WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER REPLACEMENT (RECALL CAMPAIGN 140) Description: The subject vehicles are equipped with a windshield wiper motor which may have been manufactured with a cover seal that could degrade over time, eventually causing corrosion on the wiper motor s printed circuit board. If the corrosion progresses, the windshield wiper motor could either function intermittently or stop functioning. If the windshield wipers become inoperative during inclement weather, driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
