If this occurs, washer fluid will not be available, making it difficult for drivers to see, increasing the risk of a crash.

The company will notify vehicle owners and dealers will fix the problem at no charge.
GM’s recall number is 12176. The recall is to begin around Sept. 7. For information, call Chevy at (866) 694-6546.

    windshield wipers you wouldn’t be able to drive your car from most of the year. If you lived in Spain on the other hand you would get by most of the time. So, if the primary aim is to remove water are there any other functions that the windshield wiper performs? goto the good service.nnnn
