THIS CONTAMINATION COULD INTERFERE WITH THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT CONTINUITY AND PREVENT THE WIPER MOTOR FROM OPERATING. INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH MAY IN TURN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.rnCORRECTION: CONTAMINANTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER CONTACTS.
