REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
Some of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 104 – Washer System Capability.

A customer may experience lowered visibility due to streaking or hazy residue on the windshield, as well as exterior appearance issues such as staining and discoloration of painted surfaces and exterior trim.
SERVICE ACTION
Before delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to remove and clean the washer reservoir, replace three reservoir seals/grommets, flush the washer system during a carwash and then replace all three wiper blades. Dealers will also inspect and repair paint and exterior components if affected. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified in two separate mailings a week apart. Mailing will begin by March 5, 2021. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
