On certain vehicles, the windshield wiper motor crank arm nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. If the nut loosens, it could result in a loss of windshield wiping capability which, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, may compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will torque the wiper motor crank arm nut to specifications.
