The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the windshield wiper/washer motor. Here is what owners need to know.
If the vehicle is turned off with wiper functionality left on and the wipers then become restricted, such as when covered in ice or snow, and the vehicle's battery goes dead and needs to be jump started, upon being jump started, the wipers will be inoperative.
An inoperative windshield wiper system may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front wiper module, free of charge.
