Recall 90V051000
Visibility › Windshield Wiper/washer › Linkages — Mack · reported 16 Mar 1990 · 2,350 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
A TOLERANCE MISMATCH IN THE CRANK ASSEMBLY OF THE BOSCH WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COULD CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS SEPARATION OF THE CRANK FROM THE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY IN THE LEFT HAND CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY; THIS WOULD MAKE THE SYSTEM INOPERABLE.
The risk
WIPER FAILURE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION COULD REDUCE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD, AND CREATES A POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
REPLACE LEFT HAND CONTROL ARM LINKAGE ASSEMBLY.
SYSTEM: WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS.
