What Happened
The wiper motor in your Outlander is the part that powers your windshield wipers. Water can seep into the motor through a small gap between the hood and windshield and cause corrosion, leading to a potential failure.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiper motor fails, your windshield wipers won't work, and you'll lose visibility in rainy or snowy conditions, which could increase the chance of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty wiper motor with a new one, free of charge. You'll get a notification when it's time to schedule the repair.
