VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES

Manufacturer
Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
What Happened
The linkages in your Outlander's windshield wipers are the metal arms that connect the wipers to the wiper motor. Over time, water can seep into the space between the hood and windshield and corrode these linkages, causing them to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the linkages fail, your windshield wipers will stop working, making it hard to see while driving, especially in rainy conditions. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Mitsubishi dealer will seal the linkages with a rubber boot to keep water out and inspect the wiper motor crank arm to ensure it's working properly. They'll replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you.
