Continued usage could cause the driver and/or passenger side wiper arm to separate, resulting in a loss of wiper function on that side. Loss of windshield wiping function, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the wiper arm assemblies.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"12S36","part_number":null,"units":2649,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Autres","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules, les tiges de pivotement de bras d'essuieglace pourraient se desserrer, ce qui rendrait les essuieglaces bruyants et le dégagement du pare-brise inconstant.
