What is the VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES recall for the 2013 MITSUBISHI Outlander? (Campaign #16V791000)

The front wiper link is a small metal piece that helps your windshield wipers move back and forth. In older Outlanders, water can seep between the hood and windshield and corrode this link, causing it to break and leave you without wipers while driving. If your wipers stop working, you'll have reduced visibility and a higher risk of crashing, especially in heavy rain or snow. Your Mitsubishi dealer will seal the wiper link from water with a new rubber boot and inspect the wiper motor arm for any play, replacing it if needed – all at no cost to you.
