Testing revealed moisture being retained in a composition of soldering flux and grease used during switch manufacturing may be forced out under extreme high-temperature conditions. If this moisture causes intermittent continuity between terminals, a circuit may close and power the wiper motor. A special sealer has been applied to the soldered terminals of the switch?s printed circuit board during production to prevent this condition from occurring.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10140464-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10140464-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10140464","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null},{"id":"wiper","name":"Wipers and washers","parent":"visibility"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"SUBARU","model":"LEGACY","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2010_subaru_legacy","2011_subaru_legacy","2012_subaru_legacy"]},{"make":"SUBARU","model":"OUTBACK","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2010_subaru_outback","2011_subaru_outback","2012_subaru_outback"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
