Issue
Due to incorrect production instructions, some cold-climate vehicles were assembled with standard-specification wiper motors and wiper linkages instead of the required cold-climate-specification components. Depending on snow accumulation conditions, this may result in inadequate windshield wiping performance.

On all affected vehicles, replace the wiper motor and wiper linkage with cold-climate-specification parts.
