Toyota in the affected vehicles, water may drip onto the joint that connects the wiper linkage to the wiper motor.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the visibility/wiper. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, water may drip onto the joint that connects the wiper linkage to the wiper motor.
Over time, the dripping water may cause corrosion and wear at the joint, potentially resulting in the separation of the wiper linkage. Once this occurs, the wipers would not function, reducing driver visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the water diverter channel, free of charge.
