Reported Mar 2, 199315 vehicles affectedSTEWART & STEVENSON SERV.Built Jan 1, 1990 – Dec 1, 1990
The defect
Regular nuts, instead of locking nuts, were used to secure an extension arm from the forward side of the windshield wiper motor to the wiper arm. The non-locking nut can loosen and allow the extension arm to "slip" off the tapered shaft causing the wipers to cease to function.
The risk
Non-functioning wipers results in reduced visibility forthe driver in inclement weather conditions and increases the risk of occurrenceof an accident.
The remedy
Replace the regular nuts with a locking nut.
