## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Ram 1500, 1500 Classic and Jeep Compass vehicles.  The windshield wiper arm or arms may loosen, possibly causing the wipers to not operate properly and reduce the driver's visibility in certain weather conditions.

Reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash.
