Regal V6-3.8L VIN K (1997)
Wiper Motor Linkage: Recalls
Recall 99V348000: Windshield Wiper Linkage Separation
Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles.
The windshield wipers may stop working due to a separation between the drive pin and crescent in the crank arm assembly. Driver visibility could be
reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect these vehicles for the presence of a plastic water deflector and, if necessary, replace the wiper motor crank arm and install a water
deflector. On vehicles receiving a replacement crank arm and new water deflector, dealers will also apply additional sealing material to improve water
deflection away from the crank arm assembly and will install a reinforcement to improve the performance of the wiper park mechanism.
