NHTSA Recall 15V271000
NHTSA Campaign Id 15V271000; Date: May. 8, 2015
As water leaks in, the wiper may cease to function on the 'intermittent' setting, reducing the driver's visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the water may cause corrosion which, over time, may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
