Defect
In the wiper motor, insufficient application of the waterproof sealant allows rainwater to enter the motor and cause a short circuit. Additionally, some units contain improperly welded electrical circuit connections that can separate, resulting in poor continuity. In the worst case, the wipers may become inoperative.

On all vehicles, inspect the wiper motor manufacturing date. Motors identified as affected are replaced with conforming units.
