Tesla hose connector may block the windshield washer nozzles, preventing washer fluid from reaching the windshield.
The short version
Tesla, Inc. reported a problem with the windshield wiper/washer linkages. Here is what owners need to know.
The hose connector may block the windshield washer nozzles, preventing washer fluid from reaching the windshield. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 104, "Windshield Wiping and Washing Systems."
The inability to clean the windshield reduces the driver’s visibility and increases the risk of a crash.
Tesla service will inspect and replace the wiper arm elbow connector as necessary, free of charge.
