Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Visibility:windshield wiper/washer:linkages
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Water can enter and displace the grease in the wiper arm linkage ball joint where the wiper linkage attaches to the wiper motor linkage.
Risk: This can result in gradual wear over a period of time inside the joint that could lead to the separation of the wiper linkage assembly from the wiper motor linkage at the ball joint. A loss of windshield wiper function can result in this separation occurs.
Fix: To prevent grease from being washed out of the joint, the dealers will modify by adding a water diversion seal that will prevent water from entering the windshield wiper linkage ball joint area.
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip
Problem: The anti-lock braking system (abs) hydraulic actuator was not properly purged of all air during the fill and evacuation process causing air bubbles to get into the brake system.
Risk: This condition can cause increased brake pedal travel and stopping distances.
Fix: Dealers will bleed the abs hydraulic actuator to remove any air bubbles in the brake system.
