Defect. CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 104, "WINDSHIELD WIPING AND WASHING SYSTEMS." THE WINDSHIELD WASHER WIPER SWITCH MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING WITH ALL ACCESSORIES OFF, INCLUDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND THE WASH FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED. WASHER FLUID MAY SQUIRT BRIEFLY OR NOT AT ALL ONTO THE WINDSHIELD.

Risk. THE WIPERS CYCLE NORMALLY, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF WASHER FLUID THE WINDSHIELD WILL NOT BE ADEQUATELY CLEANED, WHICH COULD AFFECT DRIVER VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL INCORRECT WINDSHIELD WASHER WIPER SWITCHES THAT FAIL TO MEET A FUNCTIONAL TEST OF CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT INTERNATIONAL AT 1-800-448-7825.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
