Summary
Some 2020 Aviator/Police Interceptor Utility vehicles built on 26-May-2020 and through 28-May-2020 may have been built with windshield washer fluid contaminated with brake fluid. If a vehicle exhibits a-pillar and/or rear liftgate trim or tail lamp appearance concerns, collect a sample of the washer fluid using a suction device and place in a white paper or Styrofoam cup. Washer fluid that appears green in color would indicate the washer fluid has been contaminated. Flush the washer fluid system and repair the affected windshield a-pillar area and liftgate area as necessary.

DOKIKO 50 Pcs Car Windshield Washer Fluid concentrate Tablets,Windshield Wiper Fluid,1 Pack Makes 52.5 Gallons,1 Piece Makes 1.05 Gallons(Winter: Use With De-icer or Methanol)
- 【Legerity and Portable】 The windshield washer is smaller and portable, which is only 16mm*2mm. One washer tablet is equivalent to 1Gallons washing liquid. Compared with traditional washing liquid, it’s easier to store and can save a lot of money.
- 【Thorough Dissolution】 It won’t produce precipitation and impurities, making sure that won’t block the outlet. For improving cleaning performance in winter, it’s mixable with anti-freezing agent.
- 【Efficient Cleaning】 It can effectively clean and lubricate the windshield (clean dust / sand / bird droppings / insects splashes and other dirt on the windshield), reduce the friction between wiper and windshield, and keep the windshield clean and tidy. At the same time, it can clean the stains in the kitchen/dirt on toilet floor.
- 【How to use:】①Open the cover of the water tank. ② Pour water into the tank. ③ Put in 1 piece of Washer tablets. ④ Wait 15-20minutes, open the wiper to clean the windshield.（☆If the conditions permit, the product can be placed in a container to dissolve, and then it into the car water tank.）
- 【Note】 Please note that this is a formula used in summer, which can't prevent water in your water tank from freezing. The temperature requirement is higher than -5℃(23℉). In addition, please keep it out of reach of children and pets. If it gets into your eyes, please wash with water immediately and see a doctor.
