What This Recall Means

Component

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

What Happened

The windshield wiper motor in your Genesis or Equus is the part that helps your wipers move back and forth. Over time, a seal on this motor can break down, letting water in and causing corrosion on the electrical board.

Risk if Unfixed

If this happens, your windshield wipers could stop working while you're driving in the rain or snow, making it harder for you to see the road and increasing the chance of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Hyundai dealer will replace the wiper motor cover and seal with new ones, at no cost to you. They'll fix this issue for free, so schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
