EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's windshield wiper motor bottom cover may be faulty due to contamination. It can melt and cause the wipers to fail, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash, or even a fire.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the wiper motor overheats, it can cause the wipers to fail, making it harder for you to see the road, and potentially leading to a crash. In the worst case, the melted motor cover could also start a fire.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
Subaru will replace the faulty windshield wiper motor bottom cover assembly for free. They'll notify you and schedule the repair at a dealership near you.
