## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a seal plug may have been dislodged from the wiring harness connector to the passenger side wiper motor during vehicle assembly.  This could allow water or other contaminants to enter and accumulate in the connector, resulting in an intermittent or inoperative passenger side wiper motor.  An inoperative passenger side wiper may result in reduced driver visibility in certain driving manoeuvres, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Note: The driver side wiper uses a separate motor that does not use a seal plug within the connector and is not susceptible to this condition.  Correction: Dealers will inspect, clean and properly seal the passenger side wiper motor connector.  Inoperative wiper motors will be replaced.
