What can go wrong

On the affected vehicles the windscreen wiper motor breather system may not be To the correct specification. This could in some cases result in water ingress leading to jamming of the motor due to corrosion. This could cause the wipers to cease operation or not start which in turn could result in restricted visibility for the driver.

The fix

Replace the windscren wiper motor and one of the windscreen wiper mechanism rods.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
