Certain vehicles \(not involved in recall 98\-150\), may experience a windshield wiper failure due to cracked solder joints on the controller circuit board.  If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver's visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealer will replace defective wiper motor until 7 years or 112 000 km from date vehicle was originally placed into service or for those vehicles currently outside of this coverage, until March 31 2004.

Vehicles may have been assembled with the throttle cable contacting the dash mat. The dash mat may bind the throttle cable such that the throttle return time may not meet the requirements of the standard.  Correction: Dealers will inspect for adequate throttle cable to dash mat clearance, and if there is insufficient clearance, a portion of the dash mat will be cut out to provide clearance.
