Recall 22V-165: Visibility

Risk: Inoperative windshield wipers can reduce visibility in certain driving conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.

Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on April 21, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 25, 2022.

Risk: The bright reflection may cause a glare for other drivers, reducing their visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
