What is being recalled
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. THE RELAY THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CAN FAIL.
Why it is dangerous
IF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL, THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY IN WET WEATHER WILL BE REDUCED INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUSPECT RELAYS.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 97V-121 when calling a dealer.
