## What is wrong

A TOLERANCE MISMATCH IN THE CRANK ASSEMBLY OF THE BOSCH WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COULD CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS SEPARATION OF THE CRANK FROM THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY IN THE LEFT HAND CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY; THIS WOULD MAKE THE SYSTEM INOPERABLE.


## What can happen

WIPER FAILURE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION COULD REDUCE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD, AND CREATES A POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE LEFT HAND CONTROL ARM LINKAGE ASSEMBLY.


## Notes
