Risk. A loss of windshield wiper becomes function can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began April 30, 2019. Owners may contact Spartan customer service at 1-800-543-5008. Spartan's number for this recall is 19008.

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.
