What This Recall Means

Component

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

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.

How to Get This Fixed

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.
