## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2013 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles.  In the affected vehicles, the ball joints in the windshield wiper module may corrode and wear over time, possibly resulting in one or both of the windshield wipers becoming inoperative.


## What can happen

Inoperative windshield wipers may reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, dealers will repair the AIP\-hole, inspect and, if necessary, replace the front wiper module, free of charge.  The recall began on April 13, 2017.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 25302.
