The defect
A tolerance mismatch in the crank assembly of the bosch windshield wiper motor could cause instantaneous separation of the crank from the linkage assembly in the left hand control arm assembly; this would make the system inoperable.
The risk
Wiper failure during vehicle operation could reduce driver's ability to see the road, and creates a potential for an accident.
The remedy
Replace left hand control arm linkage assembly.
