Visibility: windshield wiper / washer Utilimaster recall

The problem

The two sections of wiper arm may contact or cross each other and bind with eventual failure of attachment rivet; also, wiper blade could contact window moulding with increased potential for wiper arm failure.

The risk

This could result in windshield wiper failure withoutwarning, affecting driver visibility with potential for an accident.

The fix

Reduce blade sweep area to an arc specification of 85 degrees through a retrofit conlink kit.
