Recall Date: August 2, 2016
Manufacturer Recall Number: 2025302
SUMMARY:
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2013 model year Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles. The ball joints in the windshield wiper modules of these vehicles may experience high corrosion and wear that could result in the separation of one or more ball joints from their sockets during wiper operation. If a ball joint were to separate, one or both of the windshield wipers could become inoperative. If one or both of the windshield wipers become inoperative, it could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions, which may increase the risk of a crash.
SAFETY RISK:
If one or both of the windshield wipers become inoperative, it could limit the driver’s visibility under certain operating conditions, which may increase the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the front wiper-module. If the module has not been previously replaced with part number 84241847, then the dealers will replace it with the new module (i.e., 84241847) that has a water deflector and improved ball joints. In addition, dealers will fill the water-management hole near the passenger-side wiper-pivot and drill a small hole on the adjacent wall of the air inlet panel (AIP). If the module was previously replaced with part 84241847, then the only repair dealers need to complete is the AIP-hole repair—drilling a small hole on the adjacent wall of the AIP.
